A Patch on an Eames Fibreglass Chair..
25/10/2019 /0 Comments/in News /by PennyI love this photo, it’s of an Eames Fibreglass Chair and is a working model that Charles and Ray Eames kept on hand as part of their study collection.

The painting is of his second wife, Hanne Hansen by Danish painter, Vilhelm Lundstrøm. Lundstrøm was one of the most famous and beloved Danish painters of the 20th Century and he inspired midcentury architects […]
Interiors
07/02/2019 /0 Comments/in News /by PennyI’m definitely drawn to interiors which feel like a window onto the people who live there and of the life lived. Not necessarily shrines to a particular style or era but more a reflection of loves and experiences, spaces which have a real sense of place and personality. (It’s partly why I chose the name […]
