Justin picks three favourite pieces from the collection and gives us the design inspiration and heritage behind the designs.

The Lucinda dressing table is a classic contemporary piece that works across many schemes and interiors. It has a practicality in its well apportioned drawers and the broad top, but is given a gentle elegance in the inlay. The piece is painted, patinated, distressed and polished by hand in Gardenia to give it a softer aesthetic
(And we can't let this image go without drawing attention to the fabulous African sketchbook panel, all hand painted in Cape Town - a little afro chinoiserie)

The William dining table is possibly my favourite design above every piece in the collection. I love its strong silhouette and the octagonal base and I love the whimsy of the roundels. It is classic but utterly versatile and works in almost any space; we have used it in so many incarnations, high gloss, distressed, fully upholstered - and it always just works.

The Alice Console is all about 18th century natural motifs that often appeared in Georgian furniture, and I love to see what people pick up when they look at it - some have even seen the tentacles of an octopus.
