Matthew Burt Furniture

We recently worked with the talented Matthew Burt Furniture on a commercial project in Surrey. The business was founded in 1978 and not only do they design and make beautiful furniture, the business also does all the administering, marketing, selling and after-selling directly to their clients.

I was fascinated to find out a bit more about the story behind the business, how they have grown and what makes them different. I hope you agree that it makes for a really interesting read.

Ewenique Flock

I love it when I stumble across a unique find and this Ewenique Flock certainly is just that! A true artisan at work creating something truly wonderful. I first came across Liz whilst having a quick browse in the craft stalls at RHS Wisley earlier in the year and fell in love with her flock of sheep. I totally want one, my kids want one, or two (actually they want the whole flock!)...

When you're looking for beautiful bespoke linens for your interior design projects where do you go? On a trip recently to London I decided to go and check out a little secret on Motcomb Street that I discovered whilst working at Helen Green. Having not been there for a while I walked straight past it. What I had known as L&B London has been taken over by Vis a Vis.

Fjura

You all know just how excited I get about flowers, one of my first blogs was almost totally dedicated to declaring my love for their colourful displays. In fact, I would love to own my own florist shop, if only it didn't involve early mornings or standing in the cold. It's a fantasy that will never happen! Any way, you can imagine I almost couldn’t contain myself when I first came across Fjura and started following their beautiful creations.

Nappa Dori

When I first knew I was going to India I reached out to my friends for any contacts or tips on the where to go, what to do and what I simply must not miss. I struck lucky and was given some fantastic inside information which led me straight to the door of Nappa Dori in Delhi. Within the rough and ready nature of India, a trait which I had instantly fallen in love with, I wandered down what I thought was a little back street in Hauz Khas in search of this tip off and found myself walking into a very stylish, cosmopolitan styled shop.
