DESIGN

Offering a wide range of home furnishings and works of art, featuring iconic and immediately recognisable ceramics, furniture, sculpture, lighting, glass, pictures, and textiles from the most influential design movements of the late 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

Design pieces from British masters such as influential aesthetic movement pioneers E.W Godwin and Christopher Dresser to modern masters such as Bruce Talbert, Ron Arad, and Tom Dixon. Complemented by their European and American counterparts: trailblazing De Stijl movement designer Gerrit Rietveld, Marcel Breuer, Carlo Scarpa and Alvar Aalto, plus iconic works by Charles & Ray Eames and Scandinavian designers Arne Jacobsen and Finn Juhl amongst other ‘Mid-Century Moderns’.

The works of perennially en vogue ceramicists such as Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, the Martin Brothers, Clarice Cliff, and William De Morgan rub shoulders with furniture from Hans Wegner, Piero Fornasetti and Jaques-Emile Ruhlmann.
