    This curvaceous ariel bed combines natural, art nouveau-inspired forms. It features clean lines and tapered legs typical of midcentury design. What we love most though is the segmented, seashell-like headboard that adds a dramatic air to any bedroom, while the gold-capped feet provide some much needed contemporary glamour. Designed by Jacquie Dunton from Sweetpea & Willow

    Easily adapting to the theme of most spaces, the scallop trend with its clean-finished edges and dramatic play on verticality makes way for modern vaulted spaces with a dreamy, whimsical allure

    John Anthony, a contemporary dim sum restaurant designed by studio Linehouse, drawing from the journey of the eponymous historical figure—the first Chinese citizen to be naturalised as a British national. Colonial architecture blurred with eastern detailing gives way for the transformation of a British tea hall into a Chinese canteen.

    A material palette, inspired by Anthony’s route across diverse regions, includes hand-glazed tiles, terracotta, hand-dyed fabrics and handwoven wickers. Beyond the dining hall is a series of decorative, repeated arched spaces clad in handmade tiles of green and blue, which lend intimacy to the setting.

    Decorate your space with an assortment of unique and wondrous scallop shaped handmade tiles to create soothing tessellated surfaces
