Meet the Team
We believe that listening to our clients and helping them to enjoy the design process in a relaxed and informal environment is paramount. Whilst we guide and suggest, a happy client who feels they have been fully involved is always our goal. A strong supporting team of contractors including architects, upholsterers, cabinet and curtain makers, builders and lighting specialists ensure that all areas of a project can be covered and managed.
Emma Folland and Anne Ison
As a very strong team we have many things in common: a passion for good food, art, books, clothes, gardening, music and all things creative. This strong aligned sense of style helps us work well together on projects and create a cohesive look that our clients love.
We have had varied careers in the creative industry; as an interiors stylist, a magazine editor, an in store designer and window dresser. These experiences have given us the skills to employ in every aspect of design.
There is also a significant international influence in the designs we bring as a team; between us we have lived and worked in Scandinavia, across the Far East and in the States. This cultural experience has impacted our style and creativity and given us a wide source base for different designs.
Above all what we share in common is a love of interiors, a strong work ethic and most importantly a sense of fun.
