Introduce elegant touches to English homes with beautifully crafted pieces from British makers and brands
INSPIRED BY NATURE
A love letter to the Hebrides, British tile manufacturer Marlborough’s latest collection takes its lead from the dramatic colours and rich textures of Scotland’s landscape. Uist’s (pictured) gentle plaster pink shade is taken from the limewash of traditional Scottish bothies. Time-honoured techniques create a tactile, organic finish meaning each tile is unique. Uist square tile, £124 for a box of 40, Marlborough Tiles
CURVE APPEAL
The soft lines and sculptural silhouette of this armchair make it a smart addition to any sitting room. A more compact version of its predecessor, the Moreau sofa, it can fit seamlessly into smaller, trickier spaces. Each chair is made to order with a choice of oak or walnut legs and can be upholstered in an array of fabrics.

LEADING LIGHT

The range consists of a desk lamp (pictured), library lamp and reading lamp, each handmade in Leicestershire.
