George wanted to create a space which reflected his sense of style, whilst also incorporating the existing 1930s features. We worked with him to achieve this by designing and accessorising the space to feel like a home from home. Full height bespoke brushed steel and reclaimed timber shelving provide an unobtrusive screening from the outside street and display George’s personal trinkets and photographs of friends. Styling stations fashioned from raw, unfinished metal and marble bring a contemporary, elegant edge, whilst herringbone flooring adds a natural warmth.
