How privileged were we to journey to Norway with Tollgard brand partner, Eikund, this week – without even having to leave London! Monique and Erik loved their visit to the Norwegian Ambassador’s residence – a chance to explore a curated showcase of contemporary Norwegian craft in a beautifully historic setting. This was followed by a wonderful dinner at Pantechnicon’s Eldr roof garden, a Nordic Japanese space that Tollgard Contracts and Eikund have had the pleasure of working on. As I went through the pictures, I was reminded of the first time I discovered Eikund. It was their dedication to craft and their commitment to sharing mid-century Norwegian designs with the world that hooked me. Founder Jørgen Tengesdal shared the inspiring story of a year-long treasure hunt across Norway to acquire the rights to reproduce these design classics. Along the way, he built lasting relationships with the families of the Norwegian designers, who were touched at the prospect of their late family member’s work being brought back into production and shared with the world. From the buckled beauty of Torbjørn Afdal’s Hunter chair (Monique’s favourite) to the hug-like comfort of Fredrik A. Kayser’s Fluffy lounger chair, each piece within Eikund’s portfolio is sustainably produced and built to last. While it’s the last day of the exhibition, Eikund’s amazing designs will be available to view at the Tollgard Belgravia showroom so you haven’t missed your chance to meet these beauties. Finally, a massive thank you to our co-host for the dinner, @eikund_norway and all of our inspiring guests for joining us! @henryprideauxinteriordesign, @janinestone_co, @christinasinteriors, @houseandgardenuk, @daniel_hopwood @madduxcreative, @ruekothari, @studiokaape @_pantechnicon #tollgard #insidenorway #eikund #norway #norwegiandesign #midcentury #modern #furniture #wood #sustainable #pantechnicon #dinner #inspo #chair #hunter #fluffy #norwegianembassy ##interiors #inspiration #craft

A closer look at the material that makes the Wave Collection so special: Grand Antique marble. Millions of years in the making, this rare stone comes with an intriguing history. From the palaces of Roman and Byzantine empires, to a special appearance in Ruhlmann’s Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris, this material carries an incredible provenance. Filippo and I were fascinated to learn that the French quarry, thought to be exhausted and defunct, was only rediscovered in 2012. Hidden from history, literally submerged under water, this reborn quarry held one more nugget.  A magnificent block – vast and of incredible quality – waited just for us. The Refined Workshop + Tollgard are privileged to celebrate this extraordinary material with an exclusive creative collaboration. A fitting new beginning. @therefinedworkshoplondon #tollgard #new #productdesign #stone #collaboration #craft #exclusive #stone #furniture #grandantique #marble #craft #craftsmenship #artistry #art #design #innovation #handmade #engineering #newcollection #interiors #inspiration

A golden opportunity to make waves - Filippo and I jumped at the chance to design something extraordinary for the Refined Workshop. We wanted to create a collection that pushed the boundaries of design and material tradition. We also knew that the Refined Workshop, with their technical expertise and encyclopaedic knowledge of stonemasonry, could bring this vision of the impossible to life. From the first drawings on pencil and paper to the sophisticated renders on a computer screen, each step was small and evolutionary – but seeing these contemporary sculptures in person for the first time was a revelation. We hope that you can come along to see the pieces in person at the May Fair Hotel. Until then, here’s a look at the evolution in process. @therefinedworkshoplondon @themayfairhotel #tollgard #new #productdesign #stone #collaboration #craft #exclusive #stone #furniture #grandantique #marble #craft #craftsmenship #artistry #art #design #innovation #handmade #engineering #comingsoon #newcollection #interiors #inspiration

The Wave emerges in full force! Intricately crafted using one of nature’s most fascinating materials, the soft curves of the wave bring this collection with The Refined Workshop to life. Filippo and I wanted to create functional sculpture and to challenge material tradition – essentially to make the impossible possible. The Refined Workshop did exactly this - merging artistry and engineering to craft heirlooms of the future with Grand Antique marble, a rare beauty that was millions of years in the making. As Jess, Filippo and I see these contemporary masterpieces take pride of place in the expansive windows of The May Fair Hotel – it’s a magical moment. We hope that you can come along to see the collection this week and experience the Wave in person. @themayfairhotel @therefinedworkshoplondon #tollgard #new #productdesign #stone #collaboration #craft #exclusive #stone #furniture #grandantique #marble #craft #craftsmenship #artistry #art #design #innovation #handmade #engineering #comingsoon #newcollection #interiors #inspiration

I’ve been a Bond fan ever since I can remember and have loved revisiting the classics as well as watching the latest films with my sons. Daniel Craig’s recent performance was absolutely riveting, and we were privileged to watch a private screening at the very fancy Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square. It reminded me of our Knightsbridge project which features this elegant walk-in-wardrobe – just perfect for the sartorially suave hero. Our client wanted a contemporary space that would excite and engage them each morning but also offer functional storage solutions. The panelling system from @porroofficial allowed us to combine sophistication with flexibility, function with a sharply masculine elegance. The moody lighting scheme makes you feel like drama is just around the corner. #tollgard #bond #007 #walkinwardrobe #wardrobe #panelling #storage #london #knightsbridge #contemporary #modern #interiordesign #shelves #design #interiors #interior #inspiration #interiorinspo #inspo

Last week I made my way to the workshop in Slovenia for one of the most exciting trips I’ve taken in a long time. I was on my way to inspect the very first edition of the Wave console created from Grand Antique marble – a stone that dates all the way back to Roman times. If I’m honest, the journey there was slightly terrifying. What if the console didn’t look as beautiful as it had done on paper, or in our imagination? What if the Wave fell flat? I didn’t have to worry. At all. Grand Antique was everything that we knew it would be. Rich in contrast and character, this monochromatic beauty has lifted our design and given it – we hope – a place in a new historical landscape. Working with The Refined Workshop we have the unbelievable chance to celebrate this rare and beautiful material and to share a commitment to excellence in design and authentic craftsmanship. Brought to life in the harmonious hands of man and machine, it was a truly rewarding moment to see these future heirlooms in the flesh. @therefinedworkshoplondon #tollgard #new #productdesign #stone #collaboration #craft #exclusive #stone #furniture #grandantique #marble #craft #craftsmenship #artistry #art #design #innovation #handmade #engineering #comingsoon #newcollection #interiors #inspiration

We lit our first fire of the season this weekend! It’s strange to almost have welcomed the rain and the cold just for the chance to get cozy again. A fireplace is so much more than a piece of furniture or an architectural decision. It is a ritual that you add to your home and your life. The ritual is something that connects me not just with a part of my childhood, but with the outside and natural world as well. Fire has been at the heart of the home even before we moved into dwellings – it is part of our DNA to feel secure and safe in its light and warmth. This active exercise connects us more strongly to home as verb rather than noun. It is functional sculpture at its most essential. One of my favourite fireplaces has to be this one from our Danish summerhouse. It reminds me of Scandinavian winters immediately. The embers softly add warmth to this inviting space that is filled with Danish icons of the past and present, like the iconic Carl Hansen Lounge chairs. #tollgard #fireplace #stone #knightsbridge #contemporary #architecture #art #fire #furniture #london #design #interiordesign #interiors #interiorinspo #inspiration #living #design
