Old and new

Whenever I put pencil to paper, there is nothing that inspires me more than items that have been naturally distressed over time. I love old worldy furniture and collectables, the way the paint chips off them and the way they instantly enhance the character of a room. But less is more when it comes to oldwares. A few distressed chairs is enough to take the edge off a modern table setting and a collection of antique glass jars will transform the look of a fresh bunch of flowers. When I am designing my collection, I always keep in mind the connection between old and new - to me, there is nothing more beautiful than the product of a fresh colour palette or modern shape, toned down with naturally distressed fabrics, leathers and components.
