The One Book

We enjoy the work of architects and designers who approach the design of a teaspoon with as much interest as that of a skyscraper. We also like to think both big and small in our work, and have a lot to learn from the Wiener Werkstätte. This comprehensive book is a wonder.

The One Rug

Part of our collaboration with Swedish brand Nordic Knots, the hand-knotted Climbing Vine rug subtly nods towards Gustavian design, the neoclassicism of the north, whilst retaining a sense of the unexpected in its lilac and chartreuse colourway. Hand crafted by Goodweave™ certified weavers, it would make a perfect backdrop to a seating group in any room.

The One Lamp

We often look to the natural world in our designs. This beautiful Swedish Grace lamp by CG Hallberg is a great example of the way the style combines nature, elegance and a sense of the playful.

The One Bathroom Buy

We are huge admirers of what Richard Christiansen is doing with his Flamingo Estate brand. These garden soaps are a dream and would make a wonderful gift.

The One Candlestick

We love the way these candlesticks by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn combine precisely worked pewter with bamboo’s natural unpredictability. We both have a pair which we use with very tall coloured candles.

The One Cushion

If you don’t have space for a whole tapestry, these cushions from By Walid, featuring 17th century tapestry fragments, are a fun piece of the action.

The One Buy For The Garden

We both spend a lot of time in our gardens, and plan for them all year around. Rare blooms can be quite tricky to get hold of, but Chiltern Seeds specialise in just that – the rare and beautiful which can be a bit of a challenge to grow but so rewarding when they eventually blossom. At the moment, we both dream of a meadow so perhaps this wild meadow mix?

The One Piece Of Furniture

A stellar bed! This Costellazione bed frame by Aldo Frigerio is heaven.

The One Ceramic

We love Tommaso Barbi’s alluring ribbed ceramic work, and this ice bucket in green is a beautiful example.

The One Piece Of Art

A Rachel Ruysch floral still life – any one of them would be magic.

The One Mirror

Good enough to eat! We lust after a pair of these Georgian-style Irish mirrors from Ebury Trading, with their emerald glass and rock-crystal faceted borders. They’d look perfect on either side of a fireplace above a pair of console tables.

The One Candle

Fornasetti’s Architettura candle. It’s like having a tiny palazzo on your coffee table.

The One Piece of Glassware

La Double J's range of Murano glassware is wonderful and exuberant; the rainbow colours and contrasting rims bring a sense of occasion.

The One Unexpected Home Accessory

Our Crescent Moon stool in Le Manach Tigre Velvet, available from The Invisible Collection.
