Handpainted Wallpaper by Zuber




If you are looking for something special to grace your walls, take a peek at Zuber—a French manufacturer of hand-painted wallpapers. 

Since 1797, Zuber has made what many consider to be the most elaborate and beautiful wallpaper in the world. Their painted designs tell a story through intricate details and vivid colours. A true maker of luxury wallpapers, Zuber designs have papered the rooms of presidents, prime ministers and tycoons. You can even spot the wallpaper, Vue de l'Amérique du Nordin the White House, below. 

Zuber showrooms are located in select cities. The London showroom can be visited at 42 Pimlico Road, SW1.

Lacanche range cookers





Recently, one of our clients bought a Lacanche range cooker for a gorgeous kitchen we refurbished. If you haven't heard of this French brand, Lacanche stoves are "serious cookers for serious cooks". These range cookers have been produced for more than 200 years in the Burgundian countryside in France and they are well-respected among the elite cooking crowd.

What's so special about Lacanche?  Each range cooker is bespoke and made to order by hand—Yes, hand! The Lacanche customer specifies everything for these cookers, from the hob and oven types to the duel fuel options, enamel finishes and the various trims.

It's no surprise then, that some of Britain's most famous cooks like Delia Smith, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingtall and Lloyd Grossman, are proud owners of Lacanche range cookers too.

We had a go at creating our very own dream Lacanche cooker. Head on over to the website and build your own as well.
