Zaha Hadid Z Boat

Design Statement:

“The asymmetrical design is sculptural in appearance while practically affording more seating accommodations. In a sense, the bespoke boat is as much a work of art as a Cisitalia sports car in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The idea is to think of vessels and vehicles as highly individualistic expressions of art, architecture and design reflecting the edge of what is possible using the most advanced means, including materials, software systems and methods of fabrication.”

Fortnum & Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon

Here are images I have just taken of a project we have recently completed at Fortnum & Mason.

We decorated the Jubilee Tea Salon with a more open version of our Askew design painted in monochromatic design colours with touches of the Fortnum turquoise and silver pearlescent paint.

In the restaurant space you can see our Bleached Silver slub silk wallpaper and we also decorated the restaurant menus.

de Gournay Wisteria design for a Four poster bed

This is a beautiful Four Poster Bed design we made at de Gournay for Waldo Works using our Wisteria design. I have customized the design to fit their layout, including a custom ceiling view on the design to give the impression as if one was lying under wisteria vines.

Images are by photographer Philip Eason.

de Gournay Chinoiserie: Abbotsford design for 16 Queen Anne's Gate

This is a project I have been working on for the past year at 16 Queen Anne's Gate for my danish client Troels Holch Povlsen. Toels has a great passion for antiques, specially Queen Anne style furniture. His aim was to take back 16 Queen Anne's Gate to how it would have looked.

de Gournay's Abbotsford design is an unmodified reproduction of one of the most impressive surviving antique set of panels  that maintains the full drama and grand scale of the original. It is special for its densely packed finely worked renderings of figures, animals and exotic birds amidst flowering bushes of peony, finger citron, prunus, camellia, chrystanthemum and other flowers.

We took images of the stunning room last week with my friend photographer Natasha Polskaya.
