Cole & Son

Since 1875, Cole & Son has been creating original and exceptional wallcoverings and the showroom is a must-visit highlight at the Design Centre for many designers and press. With a passionate commitment to design excellence, its in-house studio continues to create beautiful wallcoverings and fabrics with intricate detailing, combining colour and pattern for a distinctive look. For London Design Week, Cole & Son celebrated one of its most beloved design icons: Hummingbirds,’ the diminutive figures that have become the design house’s greatest hero.

The romantic floral print depicting delicate birds perched on flowers and foliage is available in two new designs, Hummingbirds Flora – and co-ordinating all-over trial design – Flora – which are hand-painted at Cole & Son’s flagship in London. The delicate, hand-rendered watercolours create an expansive scene of these beautiful birds in their unique flight.

Charged with history and character, Hummingbirds is elegance in a print. Its timeless design combines classic printing methods and incorporates new textiles in crisp cottons and raw silks as well as a modernity of palette and hue.

With a series of animals, including dogs, horses, and rabbits all set against a patterned border, this standout wallpaper is full of colour and detail, it is sure to make a joyful statement in any home.

Handmade using traditional and contemporary craft processes, London Basin Company, founded by mother and daughter, creates richly decorated porcelain basins, designed to form the centrepiece of bathrooms and cloakrooms. The collection, which also includes taps, vanities, and mirrors, can be mixed and matched to create a unique space. We were lucky to be one of the first in the showroom to preview its newest vanity unit. Featuring reeded fluted panels with scalloped edges in a dusky pink, the super stylish vanity was paired with the new Reuben, a wall-mounted tap in brushed gold with cross-knurled handles in chrome.
