From a materials-used point of view, the company is dedicated to ensuring the interiors are as much about the physical feel of the elements involved as they are the overall visual appeal.
‘All of our schemes are immensely tactile, and we relish in fusing the diverse textures of different elements: think soft cashmere and luxurious mohair, deliciously juxtaposed with the symmetrical lines of rare stone and custom tinted woods,’ says Helen’s partner Jenny Weiss. Jenny finds inspiration in many places, using things she comes across in everyday life as the starting point for her ideas. ‘Inspiration can come from so many sources – through history and from nature, a piece of vintage jewellery, an intricate embroidery or fretwork, the myriad of colours in one feather,’ she explains.
The designers also include plenty of clever tricks to add depth to their schemes. ‘Mirrors, crushed crystal wallpaper, mother of pearl inlays and mosaic tiling to name but a few, never fail to heighten the ambience of a space,’ Jenny says. ‘And of course this brings us onto the quality of materials, which is of the upmost importance. Anything less than top-drawer elegance simply won’t make the cut.’
