David Hunt lighting

www.davidhuntlighting.co.uk

Inspired by Nature Made in the Cotswolds

David Hunt lighting is one of the UK’s longest surviving lighting manufacturers.

Having evolved from a brass foundry established in the 1800’s, David Hunt lighting has been based in the North Cotswold market town of Shipston on Stour for the last 100 years. It is best known for designing and manufacturing wholly original products. We have a dedicated team of over 30 staff based at our Shipston factory.

Offering over 50 ranges and 30 stand alone pieces, each product is crafted by hand and perfected using traditional hand finishing techniques in our Shipston factory. This gives David Hunt the ability to create textures and finishes that are unique to our range, including our hugely successful Antler collection and our impressive hand stitched leather Saddler range.

Our design team generate an endless stream of new ideas incorporating not only heritage inspired colours, but also on trend influences and stunning textures. Their goal is to achieve a range of products that differ from one and other aesthetically but can still suit almost any design scheme; such as industrial trends or a more traditional setting. This gives our customer base a wide variety of choice upon specification.

Until now.

Meet Kaelo: The most seamless serving experience in the world.

Simply open, and enjoy.

Kaelo are pioneers of a new type of luxury for the world of interior design. For 200 years, ice buckets have remained unchanged, undeveloped and unsightly.

Luxury offerings are made from precious metals and cost upwards of the eye-watering sum of £10,000, yet still can be knocked over, create mess and take a level of effort to prepare and maintain. This is why the unique and revolutionary Kaelo is making waves in the design world; it offers a seamless, instant and totally dry way to serve and savour your most exquisite wines.

Serving wines with elegance, not ice, Kaelo works by instantly creating an ice-cold yet completely dry environment for you to serve your wine in, meaning you can effortlessly enjoy each glass perfectly chilled, from first glass to last.

again, any part of the touch-sensitive crown, to pick your desired colour of ambience. With 27 soft hues of illumination, you’re spoilt for choice. Can’t decide which colour best suits your mood? Leave it on the mesmerising colour flow mode.

Of particular mention is the fact that Kaelo is a true ambassador for British engineering. Using raw British materials and entirely developed and crafted in England, a factor which is somewhat unique in the world of luxury these days, every Kaelo is then handassembled by a single master craftsman in the Cotswolds. The most labour-intensive and critical task is the crafting and polishing of each super-mirror crown from a solid 3kg block of stainless steel. The result however is a truly stunning and iconic work of art.

Your Kaelo will only be signed off by its maker after extensive quality and performance testing, to ensure it meets their impeccable standards, meaning this is one luxurious experience you know will stand the test of time.

The Kaelo is available to experience at a small number of exclusive showrooms around the country. Bespoke options are also available.

Tom Howley Whether you prefer the traditional country style kitchen or desire something a little more contemporary, all of our designers in the showrooms will work with you to ensure that no detail is overlooked and that your finished kitchen is everything you dreamed of and more. Tom Howley offer a tailored design service taking projects from concept to final completion to the highest possible standard - clients can choose any kitchen in any finish – painted or a variety of hard woods.

Our Latest Client Installation At Tom Howley we work with you to create a design that is right for your lifestyle and home, working closely with you we will bring your ideas to life.

This client came to us with plans for their new extension and they wanted to create the perfect space for spending time with family and friends.

To begin with the designer met with the client to understand how the space was going to be used, their new open plan space needed to function as a state of the art kitchen, dining area and space for the whole family to relax in. They had specific requirements for the type of appliances they wanted to incorporate in the kitchen design but were open to our ideas on layout and space planning. After the first consultation, an initial presentation of the kitchen was presented to the client to bring their ideas to life, once the client agreed and we had all the details including floor plans and elevations we were able to create a three-dimensional walk-through of the kitchen for the client to sign off their design.

The island is painted in our own bespoke paint colour, Dewberry which the client has then found a match of for their walls. The perimeter cabinetry is again painted in a Tom Howley paint colour, Thistle which works well with the Lyra Silestone worksurfaces in adding light to the room. Even though the space is quite large, we created plenty of clever storage solutions for the clients so we could afford to break up the solid cabinetry with open book cases and glazed dressers to give that more laid back feel to the room.

THE ACCOYA® CLADDING THAT’S EXCITING ARCHITECTS

As the UK’s biggest independent distributor of timber and panel products, James Latham has announced the latest addition to its portfolio, a new range of charred Accoya® cladding.

James Latham has been a leading distributor of Accoya wood in the UK for more than six years and has seen its popularity grow significantly, to the point where it is now becoming the material of choice for exterior applications as it can be used for virtually anything, from windows to doors, decking to cladding and siding.

This latest innovative use of Accoya - developed by Exterior Solutions Limited - pays homage to the traditional Japanese technique of “Shou-Sugi-Ban” in

“And because it has been developed using the most durable and stable timber available and has the credibility of a product that is the result of decades of research and development which brought together a long-established, extensively proven wood modification technique and leading-edge patented technology, I have no doubt in my mind that it will be a big success for us.”

Richard continued, “Charred timber cladding is becoming increasingly popular in the specification market and this is a modern application of the ancient Japanese art of burning timber to provide a beautiful and long lasting wood cladding. Traditional techniques are used to give uniqueness to each individual project and there are lots of finishes and textures available for both interior and exterior projects - from the traditional, highly charred, heavily textured looking cladding to the sleek and contemporary finish.”

Shou-Sugi-Ban Accoya Cladding is available across Lathams nationwide network of depots in finished dimensions of 19mm x 145mm (planed tongue and groove profile) and in three charring styles - Shosai, Shizen and Tenki. Other section sizes and profiles are available on request.

regulations, referring to the bathroom zones and IP (ingress protection) ratings of light fittings.

Spotlights are great in bathrooms.

Make clever use of existing mirrors to maximise light if necessary or add an illuminated LED mirror. For a larger or L-shaped bathroom why not try combining a decorative centre light with functional downlights where more light is required.

Touch Ironmongery Ltd www.atouchofbrass.co.uk 210 Fulham Road, Chelsea London SW10 9PJ

The Perfect Touch

E

stablished 33 years ago in October 1982, Touch Ironmongery is one of London’s leading ironmongers. Originally called “A Touch of Brass”, the firm changed their name in 2003 in reaction to slowly advancing market changes in architectural ironmongery which is no longer supplied solely in brass, and to also reflect the broader range of products and finishes that they sell.

In fact today, Touch can supply a wide range of finishes including Brass, Satin Brass, Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Copper, Bronze -solid and plated, BMA, Antique Brass, Black, Pewter, Ceramic, Leather, Stainless Steel, Satin Stainless Steel, Gun Metal, and the list keeps growing.

Whatever finish you require, Touch can help you get the right look.

Touch occupy their recently refurbished showroom at 210 Fulham Road, Chelsea, where they display a vast range of their 5,000 products. With a customer base including Interior Designers, Builders and individuals who are interested in the top end of the

Ironmongery market, Touch mainly supply to residential premises but hotel and office properties also contribute to their vast clientele.

The company also have a healthy export market to all corners of the world, namely the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. Touch’s owner and founder, Bill Benham, has 33 years’ experience in the ironmongery trade, as do his colleagues Jim Haselup and Alan Blanchard. Saleem Qureshi is the newest member of our team and has 10 years’ experience, meaning their knowledge is unrivalled in this industry.

The range of products supplied

by Touch date from circa 1640 French (Louise XIV) and cover all subsequent periods (Georgian, Edwardian & Victorian), art deco and contemporary pieces also make up the product ranges.

In addition, Touch showcases the very best of British manufacturing; the best ranges are still produced in the Midlands by craftsmen in factories dating back 200 years or more. Touch also sell European manufactured goods which is considered to be of a

very good quality and in recent years they have introduced some of the far eastern made products, albeit in a limited range but cost effective. With trends continuously evolving, new innovative products are constantly under development.

Touch understand that keeping up with the fashion-shifts is imperative in order to provide every customer with the best solution for their requirements.

Ironmongery can be a difficult and complicated aspect of a building project, as a result Touch aim to take this awkward aspect and make it user friendly and clear to understand by offering an onsite service where they carry out a detailed door by door, window by window, room by room Ironmongery schedule, highlighting all requirements and identifying any items that can be refurbished.

Refurbishment is a large part of the business; Touch will undertake complete ironmongery refurbishment projects, and can restore old paint covered door furniture to their former glory, looking as new, at a fraction of the cost to replace.

Bhavin Taylor Design The owners of the property had recently purchased this 2 bedroom apartment from the landlord, however it was in need of a facelift that better suited the personality of the creative couple. So Bhavin Taylor was brought on to assist.

As work had to be done on all areas of the apartment, a lot of the tight budget poured straight into the cost of the contractor, new bathroom and kitchen. However Bhavin did not want to give the clients a basic renovation so used the limited funds to add high impact design features to each space amongst a backdrop of white and walnut floors.

In the living room storage was a key requirement for the client, so Bhavin designed custom floor to ceiling storage on one side of the room and on the other a custom low media unit, which is perfect to add piles of books on leaving enough wall space to display a mixture of the client’s art.

With both the main walls taken up Bhavin decided that the ceiling was the perfect place to add statement wallpaper and selected this Moroccan style pattern with a soft blue colour palette offering a striking yet balanced impact to the room. Re using the client’s sofa and armchair gives the room character and brings the perfect mix of old and new.

106

In the kitchen Bhavin wanted to keep this quite streamline so selected high gloss white cabinets with a dark counter top, and added a round dining table that can offer flexible seating for when they have guests for dinner.

The clients existing glamorous bed frame needed a statement backdrop for it to sit against so Bhavin selected this quirky animal and stripe wallpaper from House of Hackney, which adds and element of fun to the room. Keeping everything else in the room minimal and white allows the space to be restful and perfect to sleep in.

The second bedroom is used as the client’s home office, so Bhavin kept the space simple and functional and let the artist decorate the walls with inspirational images and her own artwork.

In the bathroom, Bhavin wanted to continue the all white look, but still inject a high impact design statement and this time took to the floor, selecting a mismatched hexagon tile in shades of grey that does not over power the space. Choosing a walnut finish on the vanity unit adds an element of warmth to the bathroom and ties this room to the rest of the apartments walnut floors.

Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, and the wooden barrels that holds this beverage, were the inspiration to create this limited edition's sideboard with avant-garde design and paired with quality materials, which ensure a truly unique character.

Well, the story begins with a visit to the Port wine cellars...

It was a rainy day and two of the brand's designers were visiting the city of Porto. In a pause between meetings,

Fromental

they decided to stroll through the town of Gaia, but it began to rain a lot as they walked by the entrance of one of the cellars. Well, they entered, and in that moment, was starting a guided tour.

They joined the group, but soon after, the imagination began to float and the ideas to come... After the visit they ran to the hotel at full speed and began to draw the first sketches of what would be this fantastic sideboard. www.sadusluxury.com

Fromental makes the world’s most beautiful handmade wallpapers. Combining the finest skills together with luxurious fabrics we create contemporary, timeless interiors. Our creative team is a collaboration of talented designers and craftsmen from London and China. Informed by a variety of art forms and styles from across the centuries, Fromental creates unique new designs that are at once fresh, timeless and elegant. We aim to re-invent the wallpaper aesthetic, applying ancient techniques such

as hand-painting, gilding and gesso work to innovative designs that suit today’s tastes.

We pioneered the skill of embellishing chinoiserie panels with fine silk embroidery, taking an already supreme decorative form to new heights of opulence.

Developed following feedback from customers and specifiers of the existing range the Lumi Lift & Slide door, with its rigid aluminium frame and triple glazed units, allows the installation of openings up to 9 metres with minimal frame interruptions.

Produced in elegant Anthracite Grey, the Lumi Sliding Door glides on a standard 2 or 3 track system to allow effortless, silent opening and closing despite its reassuring weight and solidity. Excellent sound-reduction and burglar resistance up to RC2 (WK2) EN1627 is also assured whilst the advanced modular profile insulation contributes towards U-values as low as 1.1 W/(m2K).

As its first solo exhibition, Casa Botelho is making sure that its installation at Clerkenwell Design Week 2017 will be unforgettable. Guiding the ambiance of the living space will be Casa Botelho’s signature style of dark tones, natural materials, rich textures and symmetrical design.

Impressive as these figures are the aesthetics are where the real essence of the Lumi Lift & Slide Door lie, largely attributed to its unique seamless glazing. This characteristic sets Lumi apart from all other sliding doors and a feature that was crucial in the system winning the New Product of the Year category at the 2015 G Awards.

Walking solid... solid walnut for durability and absolute beauty. LegArm Collection by 358 design

Eclectic team proudly executed unique and innovative LegArm design. Petu Kummala, 358 Design created LegArm lounge chair with the inspiration that “legarms” are moving in different directions, one forward, one backwards, creating a motion as the chair is “walking”.

The shape of the “legarms” comes from four different curves that are all the same radius although the way they are composed, they look different.

Top portions are the same shape even though they look different. The armrests are wide enough to rest a drink, glass…

We used walnut and leather with basic construction methods to complement great innovative design and many more versions of “legarm” are in development. www.eclecticcontract.com

The Beauty of Lustre

6

Period style bathrooms are becoming increasingly popular with large freestanding roll-top style baths taking centre stage and setting an imposing theme. With this exciting trend your bathroom will be defined with a timeless elegance, creating the perfect space for relaxing body and mind. This style need not be confined to older period houses – it can work equally well in a newly built home or incorporated with modern décor.

Edwardian and Victorian influences have reflected deeply in the development for traditional styling. Classical design adds a real touch of opulence and glamour.

The graceful shape of our Brass Bateau is lovingly hand beaten from the highest quality brass, giving it that extra feel of class and sophistication. With an interior and exterior that is beautifully polished to a bold lustre finish, the Brass Bateau is truly a distinctive exquisite product. For an extra dash of the contemporary, the plinth or bath body can be painted in any colour or style of your choosing. www.hurlinghambaths.co.uk

Clever Cooking: New Countertop Extraction with Induction Hobs

15 Originate Originate Architects is a studio-based group of architects, interior designers and furniture specialists offering a design service that covers all aspects of high-end residential projects including new-build houses, the sensitive restoration of listed properties, underground extensions and residential interior decoration, including bespoke furniture design and sourcing.

The main studio is in London, but we source furniture from our Paris location and have a studio in San Francisco. We have completed projects in Europe, North America, the Middle East and India.

We have received a number of industry design awards and believe that our dedicated and cohesive team of designers and architects can offer an outstanding level of client service.

Our design approach is collaborative and analytical, delivering non-formulaic solutions which reflect and underpin our clients’ needs and aspirations. www.originate.london

Air Uno has launched two new innovative countertop extraction hoods integrated with induction hobs. The Bach Evo Countertop Extractor features two Domino Induction hobs and the Chopin Evo features a panoramic induction hob.

This offers more flexibility to use an enlarged single zone that heats pans of any size that are positioned anywhere within it so the cook doesn’t have to manoeuvre hot pans competing for space.

Integrating the hob and extractor into one fluid and subtle worktop design, both models draw vapours and odours downwards as soon as they arise from the hob surface at the same level. With high product efficiency, Italian design and sleek integration, these new designs have revolutionized the use of the hood in kitchen planning. These quiet designs feature touch controls and a black glass finish that integrates the latest technology with a new filtration system that has a built-in liquid collection channel. www.airuno.co.uk

Celebrating pure light, colour and movement, their abstract nature adds a curve to soften any interior wall or surface. Radiant shades shine from natural rainbow colours, or subtle stone white, taupe and grey offer calm flowing swirls.

Each installation is custom-designed and unique. Colour, mood and concept is discussed in direct consultation with the artist.

These abstract elemental forms allow interpretations to grow and change over the years. Swirling water, swishing waves, whorls of petals, a puff of wind, folds of rocks, rising bubbles and flocks of doves have all been seen in displays of these simple forms.

40 Sensorbility A pull-cord can be noisy, gets dirty and is certainly not a stylish way to operate lighting in your bathroom. The Bathroom Switch provides an elegant alternative.

The Bathroom Switch consists of a mains voltage controller which positioned outside zoned bathroom areas, this outputs a 5volt signal and is wired to one or more Sensor Pads which are self calibrating and can be mounted on the rear of most materials such as bathroom tiles, glass, plastic etc.. A simple touch will switch on and a further touch will switch off. A dimmer version of the controller is available allowing lighting to be dimmed from the Sensor Pad. All forms of lighting including LEDs can be switched. If a tactile method of operation is preferred, a momentary switch such as a bell-push can be used in place of the Sensor Pad. www.sensor.co.uk

Q By Aston Martin: Vanquish S Red Arrow Edition

•

Limited edition Vanquish S takes inspiration from the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows

•

The third Q by Aston Martin – Commission by Aston Martin Cambridge

•

Tenth car will be gifted to the RAF Benevolent Fund

Spectacular British aviation skills are the inspiration for Aston Martin’s latest Q by Aston Martin creation; the Vanquish S Red Arrows edition.

Just ten examples of the Red Arrows inspired cars are being commissioned by Aston Martin Cambridge, each with special design features, hand-crafted interiors and graphic elements that draw on the visual language of aviation, as well as the skill and agility of the RAF’s globally acclaimed official aerobatic unit, the Red Arrows.

Founded in 1965, the Red Arrows quickly achieved a reputation for incredible precision and awesome spectacle. Beginning with the Folland Gnat trainer before adopting the iconic BAE Systems Hawk in 1980, the team continues to demonstrate the very best in piloting prowess. The nine pilots of the Red Arrows represent a true team effort, transforming the razor-sharp reactions of fast-jet flying into spectacular displays that have thrilled crowds the world over, from the Goodwood Festival of Speed to important state occasions in the UK and abroad.

139

The Q by Aston Martin Vanquish S Red Arrows edition is finished in striking Eclat Red, mirroring the instantly familiar livery of the Hawks and referencing the word ‘Eclat,’ the Red Arrows’ motto.

A host of subtle details enhance the bodywork and interior, from white and blue carbon livery detailing to the white ‘smoke trail’ feature on the side strake. An exposed carbon fibre roof panel includes an inlaid ‘charge’ pattern mimicking the canopy design of a fast jet, while Union Jack enamel wing badges and a titanium exhaust complete the exterior package.

Inside, Red Arrows and RAF inspired details are used throughout, such as the Pinewood green inserts that evoke the design of the classic flight suit and Martin Baker Ejection Seat fabric, together with the green webbing seatbelts. The signature Red Arrows emblem of nine aircraft in classic ‘diamond’ formation is embroidered on the seat backs, along with unique sill and engine inspection plaques.

The latter will be signed, 1 through 10, by the equivalent number ‘Red’ pilot in the squadron. The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team logo is embroidered on the transmission tunnel, and the rear of the cabin is finished in the 2+0 configuration, allowing for rear-mounted stowage of twin racing helmets, both finished in the Red Arrows livery.

Ferrari And Poltrona Frau Present “Cockpit”, The New Office Chair

Ferrari and Poltrona Frau present “Cockpit”, the first office chair ever design by Ferrari Design Centre. Produced by Poltrona Frau, that has upholstered the interiors of Ferrari cars since the 80’, it is neither a car seat nor a pure piece of furniture or design. It is a contemporary hybrid that brings together two brands, a blend of automotive know-how and the culture of living that celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Maranello carmaker. An office chair that captures the excitement, the speed of the driver’s seat, as well as the passion for racing.

The armchair has an architectural and modular structure, and offers expansion possibilities. For the moment two versions are available, the President and the Executive. Both comprise a reclining base and seat, integrated with two different backrests. The President is the managerial model with a high backrest that is inspired by the ergonomics of competitive racing seats. The Executive model, a chair that adapts to all work contexts, has a deliberately low and narrow backrest to ensure more freedom of movement.

The design of “Cockpit a” synthesis of automotive innovation and inspiration and the materials are the same as those used in Ferrari cars, like the external shell moulded from carbon or alutex. The central band on the seat takes its cue from racing seats, while the swivel device sports the same design and mechanical elements as the steering wheel.

For the leather upholstery, the Ferrari Design Centre team has chosen shades and finishes inspired by the trim of the three Tailor-Made service lines, which allow for the personalized configuration of the car: Scuderia, Classica and Inedita. Cockpit can also be customised in terms of its colours and materials.
