London Design Week ‘24

What a week! And what a perfect way to usher in the spirit of Spring. The Design Centre Chelsea Harbour is always full of inspiration but there’s something special about the buzz of seeing new collections and going to different talks that makes it a must in the calendar.

This year, I had the pleasure of sharing a few of my favourite LDW highlights in the countdown having recently featured in the ‘Ones To Watch’ edit of their VI Journal publication.

I also expand on my love for Collier Webb, specifically my personal connection to their new ‘Cedric’ collection. Named after Collier Webb’s founder, Cedric Collier, it’s inspired by rural Sussex, the county home to Cedric’s first small workshop and now their large foundry where each piece is meticulously handmade using old fashioned methods. It features walnut, a species of tree that has grown locally since Roman times, and cast, gently aged brass which to my eye gives it the perfect mix of elegance and rugged beauty.

Each light is named after a village Cedric held dear and given my own Sussex roots many of the place names evoke particular memories for me. Perhaps most of all, Cooden, the village my mum lived for many years which sits right by the coast and has a quaint Miss Marple feel with its low, wide, interwar houses, mock Tudor beachfront hotel, Tennis Club, Golf Club…and nudist beach (which may not be very Marple but seems somehow noteworthy!)

 

A few of my other favourites…

Birdie Fortescue’s beautiful rugs!

Eva Sonaicke’s eye-catching fabrics…(George loved them too!)

Ian Sanderson’s timeless Asian inspired fabrics

And more gorgeous rugs at Bombay Sprout!

Samantha Todhunter’s utterly elegant and girly silky seats.

Schumacher’s trimmings and Springy blooms!
