We’ve been fans of Melitta products for sometime now, infact, the Cafeo Barista TS Smart has been preparing the coffee at DC HQ for the last few years, and we’ve loved it. Now, Melitta has produced what we think is one the most stylish machines on the market. Available whilst stocks last, this Purista® Jubilee Edition Series 300 Fully […]

Just over a week ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to Greenwich Peninsula where Knight Dragon were revealing its collection of 126 homes at No.3 Upper Riverside, one of seven neighbourhoods within the Peninsula. Be serious chaps, as proud Londoners, to live on the Thames is well and truly life goals. Add to that an incredibly modern and […]
Coffee worship is becoming such a popular bandwagon to jump on. Gone are the days where Starbucks was praised for its quality coffee and community feel. It’s now seen as an unattractive commercial giant, whose ‘bubbly’ staff ask for your name…and somehow continue to get it spectacularly wrong. The proverbial nose of the coffee snob, upturns at […]
Chappers, have you ever been flicking through a magazine or simply googled, ‘perfect homes,’ and stumbled across a place where you think to yourself, ‘Wow, that is literally my dream home?’ Of course you have; we all have, multiple times. It’s these seemingly unattainable goals that keep us motivated and driven for more, on a […]
From Grand Designs to George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces, interior design and home decor are certainly a major interest for the British public these days. We just go mad for trendy workspaces, kitchens with islands and of course, a contemporary styled living room with clap-on lighting and Sonos. These kinds of shows give the impression that the possibilities […]
Last week we attended Sotheby’s to check our the Contemporary Curated exhibition. It was to preview the auction this week, that will give a chance to young collectors to experience a Sotheby’s buying art-buying experience. In the month, where £400,000,000 was spent on a painting, this collection of art is fair more accessible, with some pieces valued at just a few-hundred pounds. […]
The coffee table: a focal point; the life and soul of the party but equally happy propping up a book and a hot beverage on a rainy Sunday, these four-legged companions are more dependable than a golden retriever. The role furniture plays in our daily life can easily be overlooked. Personally, I find it’s the […]
When creating a home, after the obvious pieces of furniture and the colour of the paint, our next thought is usually – what can I put on that wall? While there can be some nice prints to be found in the mainstream stores, sometimes you crave something more original, a piece nobody else can just […]
We all know the Dapper Chapper is a man about town, seeking out exclusive spots of sophistication, with both finger on metaphorical pulse, and ear to fabled grapevine. But what about that lost art of entertaining at home? A relic of our parents’ era perhaps? Who, admittedly, weren’t still sharing converted warehouses with seven […]
On the completion of the new East Croydon Station in 1992, the building was described as adding a ‘soothing uncluttered elegance to a remarkably jumbled part of Croydon.’ The glass and steel building, though not universally liked, was designed so future reorganisation and change could easily be accommodated. Timelessness, built in. Perhaps the designers knew that almost […]
Limoges porcelain vessel with satin metallic glaze Whatever your opinion of autumn, it is perhaps pure coincidence that this evocative time of vibrant colours and the end of summer coincides with the beginning of the London Design Festival. For the interior design community, Decorex is one of the more important dates in the calendar. Synonymous […]
During London Collections Men 2016 last month we couldn’t help but notice a rather pleasant fragrance being wafted around most of the presentations and shows – that fragrance was Sandalwood and Patchouli by Floris London. And rather nice it was too. Floris actually partnered with LCM to be the Official Scent of London Collections Men 2016 […]
