The homes we create say a lot about us. 10 years ago, we wanted everything to be streamlined, opting for brushed metal and curvy chrome wherever possible. Today, in more turbulent times, we look to greenery and organic materials for a calm reminder of the order of things. It's no surprise then that our desire to bring the outdoors back in has lead us back to the warmth and peacefulness of wood. With its rich and various tones, modern wood furniture takes us back to our roots.

With made to order design, its important to remember that some of our bespoke creations can take up to six to eight weeks to arrive. So if you were planning on revitalising your home in time for Christmas, now is the time to do it. Need inspiration? Our quick guide to expert hosting contains everything you need to help see you through the season in style.
