    hree years ago, my husband and I bought our home in a Grade II listed

    warehouse in South East London. I remember the rst time we caught

    sight of the enormous Victorian warehouse on the bank of the Thames.

    The sheer scale of it was so impressive. But on closer inspection it also

    revealed surprising and beautiful original details inside, remnants of its

    previous life. The building continues to have an e ect on me, even now. And I am

    clearlynot alone. Every day, I pass people pointing out the huge dormant cranes andwater towers and obviouslytrying to imagine the former warehouse in its working

    heyday. I think most of us share a sense of fascination and pride for Britains rich

    industrial past, reected in these historic buildings. On pages 4-5, Terence Conran

    recalls the transformative moment in 1981 when he rst caught a glimpse of the

    derelict waterfront warehouses of Shad Thames. Since that dayover 30 years ago, he

    has been instrumental in the restoration of manyof Londons most iconic warehouses.

    These imposing industrial buildings have unmatchable character and a quality that

    leading propertydeveloper Tom Bloxham describes as grit (page 6). Whether you want

    to embrace a strong urban loft look with concrete and steel or prefer to complement

    the heritage features of your warehouse home with vintage originals, our publication

    aims to provide all the essential interiors inspiration you might need. From high street

    brands, to the handcrafted and high-end, we have spent months sourcing uniquedesigns and decorative ideas. I hope you enjoythis launch issue of Warehouse Home as

    he veryrst time I saw Butlers Wharf, I fell

    in love. I instantly knew that it was a fantastic

    development opportunity. Curiously, I spotted

    it from the river in the summer of 1981 on a

    cruise along the Thames for an oce party. Youhave to remember that in those days Butlers

    Wharf was a pretty desolate area. There waslittle reason to visit other than for the views

    of Tower Bridge. But the moment I saw these

    wonderful derelict warehouses on the south

    bank of the Thames, the party was over for

    me. My mind was doing cartwheels over the

    possibilities, which were just beginning to

    formulate in my imagination. The next day, I

    raced over to visit the site. I was overwhelmedand quite smitten by the rough and robust

    Victorian industrial architecture. The

    waterfront buildings and the streets behind had

    been used to grind and store spices and the air

    was still richly fragrant with their smells.

    We managed to buy the site for 3 million.

    But frankly that was the easy part. Our

    architecture practice, then called Conran

    Roche, created the masterplan for a mixed-

    use scheme combining new buildings with

    the sensitive restoration of the old ones.There would be homes, shops, restaurants,

    workshops, oces and a new Design

    Museum in a 1950s banana warehouse. We

    had diculties with the planners, then the

    expensive and unpleasant realisation that the

    principal part of Butlers Wharf only had proper

    foundations at one end. Finally, there was the

    crippling recession of the mid-eighties. It

    was a very dicult and stressful time for us

    all and our full vision for the site was nevertruly realised. Although today Butlers Wharf

    is a nancially successful development and a

    thriving part of London, I sometimes dream of

    what it could have been, both aesthetically and

    in terms of creating a unique community.

    I still remember the howls of derision

    when I rst announced my plans to open my

    restaurant Le Pont de la Tour at Butlers Wharf.

    I was repeatedly told that nobody would ever

    cross the river to eat lunch, much less dinner.I showed Chris Corbin and Jeremy King (Le

    Caprice, The Ivy, The Wolseley) the ground

    oor warehouse space where I intended to

    create Le Pont de la Tour. And apparently they

    spent the duration of their taxi ride home

    together belly laughing and saying dear old

    Terence Conran has lost it. Nearly 25 years

    later, and having hosted dinner at Le Pont de la

    Tour for the likes of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair

    among many others, I think I can now al low

    myself a rueful smile, if not a belly laugh.

    The practice of breathing new life into these

    beautiful old ladies, taking historic buildings

    and transforming them for new uses, has been

    one of the constant threads running through mywhole career. In addition to warehouses, there

    have been empty garages, unused basements,

    an old printworks, a tyre factory and abandoned

    arches under a railway bridge in New York. Even

    in the early Habitat days some of the stores

    were located in previously disused spaces; a

    church in Tunbridge Wells, a 1920s cinema

    on the Kings Road and a Spitre Factory in

    Chester. I remember for the rst Habitat the

    landlord threw in the basement free of charge

    as he did not think anybody would ever have ause for it! At the heart of it, I suppose I am easily

    seduced by quirky, eccentric spaces, often othe beaten track. They may have been rejected

    as too dicult to develop by others, but they

    tend to oer cheap freeholds or low rents and,

    most inspiring of all, there is the opportunity

    to kickstart an areas regeneration. Saving an

    old building, giving it a new lease of life and

    seeing an area thrive as a result gives everybody

    involved a degree of pleasure that an entirelynew project might not perhaps inspire.

    It might not be on the scale of Butlers Wharf,

    but I can honestly say the day I purchased

    Michelin House was the happiest day of my

    life. Designed by the Michelin engineers from

    their factory at Clermont-Ferrand in France,

    not architects astonishingly, it is a amboyant

    representation of the achievements, hopes and

    aspirations of a company that contributed to

    the future of motoring and much more besides.A building like this would never be built in

    modern times. Not only is it lled with charming

    ceramic and glass details and embell ishments,

    but it is also the rst pre-cast concrete building

    in the UK with gently sloping oors, al lowing

    tyres to roll from the rear of the building to the

    tyre tting bay at the front.

    The site of the rst Habitat store was just over

    the road from the Michelin building and over

    the years I had fallen in love with the delightfully

    quirky Art Deco architecture. I dreamt about

    transforming it into a wonderful shop and, of

    course, a rst class restaurant. I wrote endless

    letters to the Michelin headquarters in Franceasking them what they intended to do with

    the building as it appeared to be unused. One

    glorious day in 1985, I nally learned they were

    prepared to sell. I promised the ir Managing

    Director that I would restore the building to

    its former glory and that Michelin would be

    proud of the building when it was nished. I

    committed to repairing all the original features,

    including the stained glass windows, the

    Bibendum-esq light ttings and the damaged

    faience tiling on the faade. Michelin agreed tosell. Our enthusiasm had won the day. Michelin

    House was converted into a Conran Shop a nd arst class restaurant and oyster bar.

    I think when you are inspired by a building

    and have an excellent design team around

    you then the results can be surprising and

    beautiful. I have always felt there is a great deal

    of synergy in the contrast between modern

    design and existing architecture. The Conran

    style has always been eclectic, mixing antiquefurnishings and ea market nds with the

    very best of contemporary style. I take great

    pleasure in putting modern furniture in period

    spaces as I think it helps make modernism more

    interesting. I think this approach can be enjoyed

    at Michelin House. However, the same applies

    to our interior design work and architecture.

    When you apply your own style and taste to

    a building and avoid becoming a slave to its

    history then you have a good foundation forcreating something rather special. The key is

    nding synergy between the old and the new.

    Shoreditch derives its special character from

    the way the old and the new rub shoulders. Both

    end up looking and feeling better for it. I think

    Boundary embodies this. That is certainly how

    I felt when I rst clapped eye s on the Victorian

    warehouse and former printing works - I could

    not wait to start work. The building had been

    left unoccupied for many years and at rstglance it was obvious that parts of its structure

    had become slightly dilapidated. We were aware

    it was a huge job we were taking on. But on

    closer inspection we discovered the original

    1893 conguration had barely changed since

    its inception and the potential and creative

    opportunities immediately lifted our spirits.

    We preserved the most attractive industrial

    features and, in many ways, it was these that l ed

    the creative process. We restored the original

    brickwork, both inside and out, and madesure the vast scale of the spaces remained a

    key part of the architecture. The double height

    basement with pavement light wells and alcoves

    makes Boundary restaurant one of the most

    spectacular and inspiring places to eat in

    London. Meanwhile, the original sash windows

    provide an abundance of natural light for the

    hotels individually designed bedrooms.

    There were so many challenges at Boundary,

    but every single one of them was absolutely

    worthwhile. Creating an environmentally

    friendly building in a Victorian printworks and

    insulating a 120-year-old building in a modern

    way is not easy. The main and most important

    element in this regard is the buildings boreholes. Working with the Environment Agency,

    two 120 metre bore holes were drilled below

    the oor in the restaurant. One collects water

    and energy from the London aquifer and the

    other returns the same untainted resource after

    it has been used to operate air conditioning,

    refrigeration systems, ice machines and various

    other equipment throughout the old building.

    One of my favourite projects for D&D London

    was Old Bengal Warehouse. Built between

    1768 and 1771, it was the rst of the British EastIndia Companys storehouses on the Thames

    and would have been stued brim-full withspices, tea, cigars and port. Poet L aureate John

    Maseeld once remarked that it held the wealth

    of the world and Londons power. Working on

    a building of such rich history and majestic

    beauty is the sort of project that really keeps

    you going. When D&D London purchased the

    Grade II listed Old Bengal Warehouse building

    and enlisted the help of Conran and Partners

    in renovating it, the whole team were thrilled.

    We designed four spaces that pay homage to the

    warehouses exotic, mercantile past. Today, itcomprises New Street Wine Shop, Fish Market,

    New Street Grill and the Old Bengal Bar. I

    particularly like the interior of the Old Bengal

    Bar, which takes its cues from the more stylish

    of Londons clubhouses, by way of Brooklyn. The

    walls are raw brick and the ceiling is dark wood;

    deep red leather sofas beg to be sunk into.

    Britain has such a rich and glorious he ritage.

    And I feel particularly proud to have played

    a part in renovating and rejuvenating key

    elements of our nations industrial past. Gutsyand raw Victorian warehouses and factories

    have now been sensitively and imaginativelyconverted in most British cities. Many designers

    PIONEERING DESIGN

    SPOTTING EMERGING TALENTIn the lead up to this our launch issue, we were proud to be invited to support emerging design talent as a media

    partner of Tent London 2014. Our Editor, Sophie Bush, reects on the creations of two designers which really stood out.

    Heavy-duty industrial materials and simple functional forms characterise these surprising, striking works. Both designs

    transform the humble into the high-end. Both would look very much at home in an urban loft or warehouse conversion.

    Jeonghwa Seo /South Korea Ben Storms /Belgium

    The Material Container Series uses twelve materials in fteen distinctive combinations.

    Designer Jeonghwa Seo has deliberately selected materials for their tactile qualities and

    because they are not usually used for furniture. Every piece in the collection is crafted in

    a unique way and by a different craftsman, depending on the selected material. While

    the wooden stool or table is turned on a lathe, the brass and copper versions are welded

    and the aluminium interpretation is sand-cast in various nishes. The contrasting tops

    provide the perfect nishing touch. Collectively and individually beautiful.jeonghwaseo.com

    I was immediately struck by In Vein. While the original workshop trestle table is the

    epitome of simplicity, practicality and mobility, Ben Storms has reimagined it entirel

    Cast iron and leather trestles support a surprisingly light luxurious marble sliver of a

    tabletop. But the table also has a secret secondary function. Prop the tabletop

    upright against the wall and it reveals, on its underside, a full length mirror. At two

    metres in length and one metre wide, this is a sizeable piece of furniture. But I think

    it is the remarkable design that packs the biggest punch. benstorms.be

    ELISEE CONSOLE TABLE

    I love the Elisee pure breed console in newglossyred

    it is a bold statement with humour and wit which

    contrasts nicelywith industrial architecture.1,650

    EILEEN GRAY FOLDING SCREEN

    To divide spaces in an informal, elegant

    I would use a couple of Folding Screens

    by Eileen Gray. They feature perforated

    panels in a high-gloss lacquer finish. 2,

    USM SIDEBOARD TWO DOORS

    In association with

    ARAM SELECTS2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the acclaimed

    contemporary furniture store Aram. First opened by designerZeev Aram in 1964 on the Kings Road, in 2002 the store

    relocated to a large contemporary warehouse conversion in the

    heart of Covent Garden. Zeev Aram has an uncompromising

    eye for innovative design, bringing together iconic brands

    and design classics and supporting and showcasing new

    emerging talent. 50 years since its launch, the Aram store is

    still regarded as an essential destination for leading designers

    and design-conscious homeowners alike. We spoke to Zeev

    Arams daughter, and Director of the Aram Store, Ruth Aram.

    She shared her interior styling tipsand recommended these statement designs from aram.co.uk

    specically for lofts and warehouse homes.

    TIP 1

    Open-plan living at its best is both rewarding and liberating, but

    a blank canvas without the usual spatial constraints can be difcultto visualise. To allow the space to evolve and develop overtime, it is best to choose elements with built in exibility.

    TIP 2

    Warehouse spaces often benet from high ceilings and great

    natural light so they can take some vibrant colour do not be

    afraid to experiment! If the envelope is relatively neutral then some

    well-chosen pops of colour can enrich the home environment.

    TIP 3

    I believe less is more so if you are contemplating what furniture

    to put in your wonderful light lled warehouse space,

    I would recommend starting slowly with one or two great

    pieces of modern design that you love.

    ICONIC ARCHITECTURE

    On completion in 1873, Lister Mills wasthe largest silk mill in the world. The Grade II*

    listed building still dominates Bradfords skyline.

    The contemporary metal rooftop additionwas inspired by the weave of silk threads.

    Albert Mill dates from 1869. The Grade II listed

    former cotton mill is one of the last remaining

    Victorian mills in the heart of Manchester.

    Constructed between 1825

    and 1831, Royal William Yardis steeped in history. It isconsidered to be one of the

    most important groups of

    historic military buildings in

    Britain and the largest collection

    of Grade I listed militarybuildings in Europe. Urban

    Splash has already been involved

    with the site for ten years.

    om Bloxham cares deeply about Britains cities

    and theirpotential. I hate seeing identical high

    streets, with the same shops and the same fascias,

    he declares passionately. We should celebrate

    the diversityof Britains cities. And what makesties so unique is their historic buildings. Like me, many

    e feel very stronglyabout these heritage buildings.

    play a huge part in local civic pride and rightlyso.

    might have fallen into disrepair, but often theystill have

    endous promise and a verylong possible future. Theyhave

    the badge of historyand time well. Properlyrestored,

    ould continue to do so formanyyears to come.

    e conversion of former industrial buildings into

    ential schemes is a more recent phenomenon in the

    an in the USA and Tom recalls that Urban Splashs

    ering attitude to their restoration was not initiallyd. We kickstarted the loft living revolution in the 1990s.

    hen we rst started developing loft apartments, nobody

    ght it would catch on. Theywere in old buildings, located

    ycentres. Our cities at that time were pretty grim and

    dyreally wanted to live there. But the urban renaissance

    as taken place in the last few years is amazing. Around

    f the population todaydo not look at newbuild homes.

    s quite an indictment of house building in this country.

    while, the scale and qualityof these heritage conversions

    ares veryfavourably with most new-build ats. Formerand warehouses have high ceilings and oer large open

    s with the potential to be recongured or used in a

    tyof ways. Frankly, theytend to be much more interesting

    a newbuild. Tom conrms that people who buy or rent

    rehouse conversions or loft apartments usuallyhave a

    eye for design and a passion for architecture and

    ry. But above all, he explains, they are seeking a home

    ndividuality, style and grit.

    e restoration of heritage sites and listed buildings

    s with manychallenges, as well as oering excitingrtunities. Urban Splash works with such renowned and

    cted architects as Foster+ Partners, Glenn Howells and

    KM as well as running selectcompetitions forlocallybased

    ners and emerging talent. When looking at a heritage

    erty, however, Tom summarises thatthe overarching

    n Splash approach is quite simple. Whateveris good is

    red and celebrated. Where we have to make interventions

    xample, to insertnew services, re escapes, extensions),

    ways tryto do so in an uncompromisinglycontemporary

    ner. In this way, visitors can immediately appreciate what

    riginal and enjoywhathas been added. I am excited by

    sual stimulation the juxtaposition of the old and new.bout leaving behind a legacy. Byrestoring a heritage

    ertywe are ensuring its legacylives on formanyyears to

    . Butwe are also starting a new legacy, with the modern

    dditions to the site. Theywill stand the testof time too.

    n you think aboutit, mostbuildings are adaptations,

    ng and changing overtime. So it is perfectlyappropriate

    mplementolderfeatures with the verybestof 21st century

    n and technology. In theirtime and in their way, these

    uildings would have been groundbreaking. Today, wea much widercolour palette and range of materials

    ble to us. To drawon contemporaryinnovations and

    rials during redevelopmentis entirelyin-keeping with the

    ering ethos behind the buildingsoriginal construction.

    er the coming months, we can expect to hear a lot more

    Urban Splash. There are, Tom coylyintimates, one or

    heritage projects under consideration, as well as exible

    ustomisable newhousing and at least one possible hotel

    me. There will be further projects across the country,

    ver Tom is clear that his guiding principle will alwaysin the same. I shall not leave mycityany less, but rather

    er than I found it.* urbansplash.co.uk

    THE INNOVATORUrban Splash has been credited with pioneering innovative urban regeneration and has gained particular acclaim for

    transforming post-industrial towns in the north of England. Based in Manchester, the rm has been responsible

    for the redevelopment of decaying i ndustrial warehouses and mills and dilapidated Victorian terraced houses.

    We spoke to Chairman and Co-Founder Tom Bloxham about creating new legacies for our cities and their iconic buildings.

    THE RECLAIMERSWe meet four British designers who are recycling and reusing, helping us reduce

    our carbon footprint and raising the style stakes at the same time. From

    salvaged metals, reclaimed timber and vintage treasures come contemporary

    industrial creations and timeless quirky designs. These reappropriated

    pieces are part of an increasingly popular aesthetic and answer a common call for

    distinctly individual homeware and interiors. All hail, the reclaimers.

    to branch out into crafting bespoke

    furniture, lighting and accessories.

    He launched The Rag and Bone Man

    atTent London 2011 and sold all ofhis pieces within three days. The rest

    is reclamation history. Paul reworks

    abandoned mechanisms, machineryand

    scrap into unique contemporarypieces,

    each with a strong industrial look and

    entirelynew purpose. Everyitem is a

    one-o, individuallytagged with a serial

    numberand the date on which itwas

    completed. Investin a future heirloom

    from this twentieth centurytotter andyou will certainlynot be disappointed.

    Christopher Berry is passionate

    about creating original and

    affordable decorative pieces. With

    a degree in furniture and product

    design and a fascination with

    medieval furniture, Christopher

    combines modern processes and

    traditional techniques to craft acollection of beautiful and practical

    wooden items. Christopher also

    places great importance on the

    fact that the Factory Twenty One

    collection uses sustainable or

    recycled wood. The majority of

    the collection is handcrafted

    from reclaimed industrial pallets -

    including coloured pallet pendant

    shades and the planter andclock featured here, launching

    exclusively in Warehouse Home.

    When Calum Balding struggled

    to find distinctive furniture for

    his family home, he simply began

    adapting items he had inherited

    and restoring unusual vintage

    pieces he found on his travels.

    Dapper Franks is named after

    Calums grandfather and it is his

    hope that he can one day involvehis three-year old son Frankie

    too. Whether reviving a battered

    old trunk or reworking a vintage

    coat rack, Calum clearly takes

    pleasure in restoration and

    upcycling. Entirely self-taught, he

    has a keen eye for the potential of

    a piece. Calum is currently hard

    at work on a new collection of his

    own designs. He calls his piecesvintage with swagger. Well, they

    cut the perfect dash with us.

    Interiors trends are moving away from high shine in favour of warmer tones and pleasing patinas.

    Chrome and gold are yesterdays news. Rose-hued copper and brushed brass are the new

    must-have metals, bringing understated glamour with an industrial edge. From stand-out seating

    to striking lighting and cool culinary accessories, we review our favourite statement pieces.

    When Kat and Andy Wyethstruggled to find an impressive

    light to hang over their dining

    table, they decided to make their

    own, converting a salvaged steel

    drum into a dramatic pendant.

    The compliments they received

    spurred them on to found

    Lichtfass Company and bring

    their inspired industrial lighting

    to market. The patented barrel-lamps are crafted from 60 litre

    and 200 litre drums, but by no

    increasingly popular. ThFactorylux lament bulb

    Over the course of about threeweeks, the steel drum sections passthrough the hands of at least tendifferent experienced workers, slowly

    says Kat. Old steel containers

    are individually selected for their

    FACTORY WORKSFunctional industrial lighting has transitioned from the factory to the home. Originally

    designed to cast accurate directional light for workers, salvaged shades now hang above

    kitchen islands and dining tables. Meanwhile, modern interpretations of classic utilitarian

    shapes are being crafted in coloured enamels or spun from rose-hued copper for a look

    that is chic and contemporary. Vintage and modern, we cast a light on factory shades.

    BOLD AND BRASSIn a railway arch i n the heart of Battersea, experienced artisans and craftsmen are elevating the ordinary

    into the extraordinary. From this workshop beneath the tracks comes showstopping design. We are

    lled with admiration for their latest creations, Heavy Metal and Electricity. This is pure i ndustrial luxe lighting,

    rock and roll illumination. Buster + Punch just raised the bar. Come and join them.

    assimo Buster Minale is

    a champion of British

    manufacturing and productdesign. Devoted to exquisite

    craftsmanship, he founded

    London design studio Buster + Punch in 2012.

    There is something slightly maverick and

    entirely masterful about Massimos daring

    designs. Fashioned in copper, brass, gunmetal,

    steel and matt black, the collection channels

    80s rock and is inspired by high-end biker

    style. The devil, as they say, is in the detail.

    Tactile knurled surfaces lend a particularlygritty, industrial quality to the range. It is

    an effect created using the same process

    employed in the production of non-slip tool

    handles, but applied to precious metals it adds

    a sexiness and edginess. The final flourish

    then comes in the finish. The solid new Heavy

    Metal pendant lights are crafted in steel cut

    with whisky, copper soaked in olive oil and

    smoked bronze. Complete your dramatic

    lighting scheme with new Electricity switchesand dimmers. They are available in a range of

    finishes and frankly nothing else would really

    cut the mustard. Clockwise from above: Heavy

    Metal pendant lights in copper and bronze,125; Electricity dimmer s, from 40, and swit ch,

    clusively by Another Country.

    afted in the USA by Brooklyn

    design studio Workstead, the lights

    fuse function, flexibility and style

    with a refined industrial edge.

    They use joints originally intended

    for workbench lighting in the 20th

    century. The Industrial Chandelier

    treasures with statement heritage-style pieces and bold splashes of red. Pull up a comfortable chair and enjoy a dram.

    he classic Chesterfield shape is as popular as ever. Reminiscent of gentlemens clubs, the strong form is characterised by

    rolled back, wide scrolled arms and deep-set buttons. Finished in natural linen and textured burlap, and with its wooden

    ame exposed, this unusual armchair combines those classic Chesterfield style characteristics with an aged effect. The light

    This vintage cart was once

    used to move gold bullion in the

    vaults at the Bank of England.

    Extremely heavy duty, its sturdy

    castors and wheels were capable

    of supporting substantial

    weights. Estimated as dating

    from the late Victorian period,

    the cart still bears the mark of

    its manufacturer, Fairbanks &

    Co. Fairbanks has produced

    industrial trucks, carts andtrolleys since the 1830s

    and is still in operation today.

    SOFT INDUSTRIALhe original features of a warehouse conversion, such as exposed brickwork, can often feel hard and

    masculine. Old and new steel furniture is especially striking in such spaces but can also feel cold.

    Bring warmth and soften the look by adding a variety of textured fabrics like linen, tweed and velvet

    and use softer colour schemes, particularly in a bedroom. Flowers and decorative glassware further

    enhance the femininity of a space, while using select vintage pieces enhances your homes heritage

    of our warehouse bedroom. Styling the room with a masculine and feminine palette of greys and blush pinks

    WAT ER WO RLDThere is a new emphasis on bringing warmth to the wet room through less conventional wall coverings and metal xtures

    and furniture. Rather than slavishly tiling every corner of your bathroom, bring in more texture. Wood is being

    used more generously, alongside brass and copper with softer brushed nishes. Simply adding new fawcetts is a cost-effective w

    Amsterdam-based design firm Barn in the City have made it

    their purpose to give new life to old barnwood. In the nineteenth

    century, farmers across the Netherlands built the barns on their

    land using pine, hickory and hemlock. In more recent years,

    many of these beautiful barns have fallen out of use and into

    disrepair. Considered a unique part of Dutch cultural heritage,

    each farm must maintain one of their old barns. But the others?

    Barn in the City salvage the grey weathered sidings and use it to

    craft distinctive customised furniture and wall coverings. Iced

    finishes infuse the barnwood with a cool contemporary edge.From kitchen cabinets to shower panels, these remarkable

    reclaimed creations make an immediate impact. barninthecity.com

    STUDY TIMEOur work habits are changing. Whether full or part-time, more and more of us are working from home.

    The functional nature of a home ofce or study often means that style can be in short supply.

    But invest in a good desk as a focal point, bring in some top-notch task lighting and add plenty of smart

    storage solutions and you will actually look forward to going to work.

    nusual Indoor table is hand crafted from a set of vintage exterior

    en doors. The beautiful Italian doors date from the end of the 1800s

    re solid chestnut. When theyare closed, the piece functions as a

    g table with space for four to six people. When open, it transforms

    spacious desk. Inside, iron straps have been inserted into the old

    panels for holding paperwork. Two storage drawers, one xed andiding, have also been added, with the larger drawer sliding in both

    directions to create additional work space. The antique doors remain

    exactlyas they were and the bold dash of blue varnish on their inside

    frames, together with their original hinges and latch, reallyadds to

    the character of this door-table-desk. Each Manoteca creation is

    one-of-a-kind and completelyhand made in Italy. Each is numbered,

    signed and accompanied bya certicate of authenticity. If you are lookingfor an investment piece, this is it. 5,000 + shipment, manoteca.com

    mperfect Home began with

    a hand-beaten brass spoon.

    Discovered in Tokyos Japan

    Folk Craft Museum, the humble

    spoon was useful and unique.

    It prompted Mark and Sally to studywabi-sabi, the Japanese concept of finding

    beauty in the imperfect and practical. And

    it inspired them to embark on a globaljourney seeking homeowners who had

    embraced the ethos. Imperfect Home

    shows that ordinary objects, weathered

    and worn, battered and frayed, bring

    character and soul to a space, making

    it feel both homely and personal. Each

    chapter explores a decorative theme:

    textiles, texture, colour, the handmade andcollections. Obscure finds are painstakingly

    repaired and repurposed. Simple everydayitems are displayed alongside industrial

    fittings to create a striking contrast. The

    Victorian art critic John Ruskin once wrote

    that to banish imperfection is to destroy

    expression. It can take imagination to see

    the potential in objects, particularly if their

    original purpose was not domestic. But this

    beautiful books shows that the reward is a

    perfectly imperfect, individual home.

    HAUTE CUISINECurrent kitchen designs feature an abundance of warm, natural materials, with particular emphasis on wood. In many cases

    storage is completely hidden. Doors and drawers are disappearing, often handleless, into unbroken surfaces and

    minimalist lines. But there are glamorous nishing touches for an understated earthy-coloured backdrop. Brushed copper

    and brass hardware have entered the culinary space. Join us in the kitchen, something special is cooking.

    The new FLOAT kitchen collection from Modulnova has recently launched

    in the UK - and it is a thing of pure minimalist beauty. The units are crafted

    from Rovere Cuoio (a fine raw oak) and a Pietra Piasentina stone worksurface

    is suspended on top, seemingly floating. The extractor hood is formed from

    the same stone. The kitchen can include an aluminium and glass display

    cabinet and a substantial walk-in pantry with an ambient temperature for wine

    and food. If the kitchen is the heart of your home, and budget allows, this iscertainly the finish to invest in. Kitchens from 25,000, d esignspacelondon. com

    BARAK7Following its success on the continent, a new industrial-style collection has now launched in the UK.

    Belgian company BARAK7 has its nger rmly on the pulse of the industrial trend and has developed a broad

    range of distinctive furniture and accessories to designer quality yet at affordable prices. Visit barak7.co.uk

    hen young artists Mael

    Doudelet and Coralie

    Verheyden were handed the

    keys to their first home, the

    keyring was labelled BARAK7.

    As they set about decorating their new hometogether, the couple found it difficult to

    source affordable furniture and accessories

    in their preferred raw aesthetic. So Mael

    and Coralie began to employ their artistic

    talents, designing their own industrial-

    inspired pieces for their home. Their

    scribbles and sketches were transformed

    into prototypes by talented craftsmen and

    it began to dawn on them that their designs

    would appeal to other homeowners too.Then they were reminded of that keyring

    - and Barak7 was founded. Robust and

    practical yet full of character, every piece

    is individually handmade and unique.

    Crafted from wood, metal and canvas, each

    piece has a distressed or aged finish.

    Some items feature stencilled details,

    further enhancing their vintage industrial

    look. There are quirky designs, such as

    the bicycle suspension lamp (above) andpedal bar stool (below). There is a range of

    smaller decorative accessories and finishing

    touches. From lighting to bar stools,

    tables to TV stands, Barak7 have created a

    collection of furniture and accessories that

    will be conversation pieces in any home.

    Perfect for a warehouse conversion or loft

    apartment, they will also prove popular

    with anyone looking to add touches of

    industrial style to their homes. Dedicatedto smart shopping, BARAK7 cut out all

    intermediaries to sell products direct to

    customers, which means their prices are

    more affordable. Take a look at their

    First, we never look at a brief as a project per

    se, we always look at the potential relationshipwe can have with the client. It is all about the

    relationship. It is a two-waystreet of course. What

    can our clients do to challenge us as designers?

    And howcan we meet their needs byexceedingtheir expectations? We are inspired byall of our

    clients, in individual ways. For instance, Jamie

    Oliver is remarkable because of his brand integrity.

    Everything is done with honestyand humour. The

    Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts are inspirational

    because theyare incrediblyservice-orientated.

    Yourmostrecent award was forWhyte & Brown.

    Whatqualities do you think particularly

    marked this restaurantout forthe judges of

    the Restaurant& BarDesign Awards?

    The individual and collective intent for Whyte

    and Brown was simple - alchemy. A place and a

    destination where the ordinaryis made extra-

    ordinarythrough taste, touch, smell and sound. It

    is not only about what you see at this restaurant, it

    is about the memories we have made. Design is our

    tool to ultimately improve guests experiences.

    The industrial look is so popular at the

    moment and prevalent in both residential

    and commercial interior design -

    whydo you think this mi ght be?

    We have just come from a period of austerity.

    People feel more comfortable retreating back to

    the basics. It is about stripping things back,

    allowing interiors to feel more purposeful and

    durable rather than lavish and opulent.

    Tucked behind bustling Carnaby

    Street is a new restaurantconcept. The hero ingredients

    are free range chicken, eggs

    and craft beer, dishes are

    largely traditional but there are

    occasional contemporary twists.The founders brief for the interior

    was a leaning towards industrial

    but softened around the edges.

    It combines industrial and

    reclaimed features, temperedby leather upholstery, coloured

    glassware and traditional kitchen

    features such as butler sinks.Directions:

    Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker

    Shake once without any ice to add some texture

    to the egg white

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, shake and thenstrain into a cocktail glass

    Sprinkle freshly ground nutmeg to garnish and

    add 3 dashes of toasted pecan bitters and serve

    For the vanilla sugar:

    Add 1.5kg sugar to 1litre water with one split

    vanilla pod. Heat the mix slowly over a gentle heat

    until the sugar is fully dissolved

    For the plum and damson puree:

    Blend roughly 3 de-stoned and skinned plums

    and 5 ripe damsons with 100ml of apple juice

    Sieve to remove any damson skin. If plums are

    not ripe the mix can be sweetened.

    Located on the edge of Islington,

    the brief for this Jamies Italian

    was to reect the vibrancy of the

    area and add a Milanese avour.

    Each of the three levels has itsown character. Moretti beer is

    on tap in the rst standalone bar

    for the brand. The main dining

    space fuses industrial and Italianelements, with crackle glazed

    terracotta tiles and zinc panelling.

    The atmospheric back room is

    dominated by an open kitchen,

    which provides the theatre.The motto at Reds is low

    and slow. A brand full of

    passion and attitude, strong

    religious references are

    used in connection with themeat and how it is cooked.This heavily inuenced the

    interior decor. The space ishumorous and irreverent.Strong industrial and

    reclaimed features combine

    with fairground-style lighting

    and bespoke neon artworks.
