Beautiful storage for your modern home

If you have a contemporary home you might be struggling to make your living spaces feel cosy and personal. A great solution is to complement your modern décor and furniture with one or two antique or restored pieces.

Quality pieces add character to contemporary interiors through their beauty, history and personality.

Old wood develops gorgeous textures, sensuous to touch.

Old lacquered pieces have a fantastic richness that you just can’t recreate. Even our painted pieces look very comfortable in contemporary spaces – and give you ‘art’ and ‘furniture’ in one package!

Our Workshop

We partner with a workshop in China where a dedicated team of craftsmen and women take exquisite old furniture which has seen better days, and painstakingly bring it back to life. The highly skilled workers specialise in the different trades within furniture making and restoration, meaning we can also commission bespoke pieces for our customers. Read more here.
