The Importance of Creative Storytelling

As we embrace the new season of Spring, we are celebrating ‘Creative Storytelling’. We believe that every design starts with a story, so here we share how our narratives shape our spaces, crafting bespoke interiors which are as unique and meaningful as the clients we design for.

DESIGN DETAIL

No detail is ever too small and these intricate details often make all the difference. For example, the Sea Island Cotton in our House of Walpole apartment, which was embroidered with a love letter written by Prince Albert to Queen Victoria.

SENSORY DESIGN

We often talk about designing a space that awakens the senses, going beyond the aesthetic to create a truly immersive experience. From carefully selected fabrics to the emotive power of fragrance, every detail is thoughtfully considered to create interiors that are felt.

DESIGN NARRATIVE

Whether it’s inspiration taken from the beautiful architecture of a historic building, the stories of the past, or a creative story stemming from our clients’ investments of passion, each design narrative is sparked by something special and deeply personal.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

We collaborate with the finest artisans and craftspeople, whether it be intricate marquetry, hand-blown glass, bespoke furniture, or luxurious textiles, these elements tell the design narrative. Often designed by us and meticulously crafted by local artisans, these timeless pieces are designed to become a part of the next chapter in the story of each space.
