Interiors
Working in collaboration with interior designers is something I love and also represents a significant proportion of my work. I have worked on a wide range of projects from hotels, homes, workspaces, yachts and yurts. I respect the designer’s incredible skill of visualising the big picture through to the final finishing detail.
My skills and experience work in tandem to support the vision, creating something totally unique for the client. Once designs, materials, colours and techniques are approved the couture fabrics are produced in my London studio, which ensures quality is always spot on and that delivery dates are met. I have a long-standing partnership with a top-end workshop in India who will manage exceptionally large commissions.
