Alexander Lamont'
British designer Alexander Lamont has always been interested in enigmatic textures, forms, and materials; ‘surfaces that call out to be touched. The journey to make such furniture, lighting, and objects in the 21st century - requiring time and hard-won skills for each piece - took him to Thailand where he has built celebrated workshops. Alexander Lamont makes collections of furniture, lighting, objects, and wall panels with unexpected natural materials and refined hand techniques that have been used for centuries in Europe and Asia. Our minimal, organic and tailored designs show a contemporary reverence for rituals of craftsmanship and the energy that human skills impart into every piece.

Ravens are kept inside the Tower of London and are symbols of that great city. On a visit to London when I was about 6 I went to the Tower with my parents and was pecked by a Raven. It became a bird of mythical and actual ominousness and has always captivated me. Finishes: Bronze

Sun shining through a lattice was the inspiration for Soleil; the gorgeous reflectivity of straw allows different plains to hold light or shine forth. The linear form gives a sense of depth looking through to evening sun.

Pierrot is a dancing arrangement of musical whimsy and silent mime that moves in the light between shaded tones of taupe and chocolate. Made from intricate straw marquetry using tonal groups to create lustrous subtle contrast.

Labirinto I and II layers the natural vibrancy and reflectivity of straw marquetry in Beechwood or Ebony with fine lines of hand-applied Mercury Gold leaf or Silver leaf. As light - or the viewer – moves, different iterations of the design become visible; a tribal textile appears with strong archaic lines that then fades as the metallic lines appear creating a precise graphic sensibility. The more you look at Labirinto, the more deeply you are drawn into its three-dimensional world

A beautiful surface of polished details. Lace requires meticulous care and attention in creating fine cracks that are consistent but not too consistent. The idea is to build a linear tracery that is full of tiny imperfections and make a constantly varying texture and interest in the surface. Burnishing with agate stones polishes the surface by hand before a protective clear layer is applied.

Inspired by the works of Sonia Delaunay, this enigmatic design by Antonio da Motta presents large fluid shapes and lines within curvilinear fields of rich natural colour reminiscent of his Brazilian homeland. It is presented in two colourways: Sonja I; a blend of warm taupes and browns. Sonja II; vibrant Brazilian greens and yellows.
