“I love adding passementerie to my projects and I am particularly looking forward to delving into Samuel & Son’s new Ilana collection, full of settled colour and interesting materials. They are a perfect match for our collection of fabrics and wallpapers (so much so that they have provided all tassels and tiebacks for our House Guest stand)”

Claire German“I’m always drawn to design that has been inspired by the natural world, and Visual Comfort & Co.’s Garden of Light installation – our first-ever Centre Dome lighting installation – is no exception. Its suspended array of flower-like ‘Nyra’ pendants, put together by the brand’s talented chief design officer Sean Lavin, irresistably herald the arrival of spring”
