MATTHEW COX

Matthew Cox designs and makes furniture and lighting intended to be as essential and beautiful in one hundred years as it is today. Guided by a belief in materially and aesthetically sustainable design, the studio encourages thoughtful buying through pieces created with longevity, sensitive manufacture and careful aftercare at their core. Drawing on Matthew’s experience with antique furniture, each design reflects a deep understanding of materials, surfaces and how objects evolve over time.

Every piece is handmade, learning from the past to shape the future. Central to the studio’s thinking is a “100 Year Plan”, a commitment to support every piece well into the future. The framework supports a long lasting future for every piece, shaping how it is designed, made, maintained and ultimately repurposed, with the aim of extending its life for at least one hundred years. Matthew Cox became a certified B Corporation in 2024, achieving one of the highest B Corp scores for a furniture and lighting company in the UK and reinforcing a commitment to reducing demand on the planet’s resources through considered design and production.

BRUCE FINE PAPERS

Tucked away on an unassuming street in Lincolnshire, Bruce Fine Papers is among the very last studios in the UK still producing every wallpaper using traditional block printing. Founded in 1994 by Alex Bruce, what began in a small barn has grown into a rare family workshop dedicated to preserving a disappearing British craft. Block Printed Wallpaper was first manufactured in England during the 16th Century and it is these same techniques that they continue to use today, placing this quiet Lincolnshire studio within a lineage that stretches back centuries.

Today, two generations of the Bruce family work alongside a small team of skilled printers, continuing the slow, meticulous methods once common across Britain’s historic wallpaper houses. Their papers are created for leading design studios and heritage organisations including English Heritage, the National Trust and the Biltmore Estate. In an industry largely shaped by digital production, Bruce Fine Papers remains a precious outlier, continuing to print each design by hand from start to finish.


Services

  • Hand block printed wallpaper collections, produced using traditional techniques and historic printing methods

  • Heritage wallpaper restoration and reproduction, recreating historic designs from surviving fragments

  • Bespoke wallpaper printing for interior designers, artists and collaborative collections

  • Custom colourways and tailored handmade wallpaper commissions

  • Wallpaper supply for private homes, hospitality and retail refurbishment projects

EVERY STORY

Every Story is a ceramic studio founded by sisters Abby and Hannah, working across three studios in the Vale of Belvoir in rural Nottinghamshire. Each piece is individually handmade, shaped into organic forms influenced by the surrounding landscape and a quiet appreciation for nature. Designed to be both beautiful and functional, their ceramics are created for daily use, bringing considered detail to the rituals of the home. A carefully curated palette of glazes gives each object its own character, ensuring no two pieces are the same and allowing every work to carry its own sense of story.

The studio’s work has been featured in titles including Enki Magazine, Ideal Home, Country Living Modern Rustic, Country Life, Livingetc, 91 Magazine and Martha Stewart Online, alongside global campaigns for Etsy’s Keep Commerce Human initiative and international television advertising. Their ceramics have appeared in bridal editorials for The Lane, Brides and Rock My Wedding, as well as on screen in programmes such as Great British Menu and Mary Berry, and within set design for productions created for BBC, Netflix and Disney+. Alongside editorial projects, the studio creates bespoke dinnerware for hospitality destinations including Estelle Manor, Maison Estelle, Alchemilla, The Gilpin Hotel & Lake House and The Old Course Hotel, and collaborates with design houses and brands such as Sanderson for Morris & Co, The Romo Group and Vitamin A Swim on creative commissions and corporate gifting.

MEET LAURA E JEKYLL, DECORATIVE PAINTER

From her studio in South Lincolnshire, painter Laura E Jekyll creates bespoke hand-painted art, furniture and homewares. Laura shares with us her inspirations, creative process and favourite local spots.


How would you describe your work?

Our homes tell our stories. We can use our homes to craft a lifestyle that’s aspirational, calming, convivial. My work is really decorative storytelling. Every piece is one-of-a-kind. It might be a commission for a mural or updating a piece of furniture they’ve had forever, but with each project I help my clients bring personality into their homes.

What are your main influences and inspirations?

Oh so many things! I collect little sparks of ideas from all sorts of places. Textiles and costume and antiques from across the globe. British style is quite eccentric really and I think you can see this in my work. I’m drawn to the wonderfully fluid style of the Bloomsbury aesthetic, the naivety of folk art and the wabi-sabi philosophy of appreciating nature’s simplicity and imperfections. I spend a lot of time experimenting with colour and texture, playing with smudges and brushstrokes—things that make the work human.

Do clients come to you with ideas, or do you guide the vision?

It’s usually a mix. Some have a clear vision, while others just have a vibe. I love collaborating—getting to know their style, space, and story. Every piece is a partnership, which makes it deeply personal.

What’s the one thing you can’t work without?

Music. It really helps me to get into the zone. The right playlist can instantly put me into that calm, creative state from which the work just flows.

What projects are you excited about right now?

I’m launching a range of children’s bookcases this year designed to look beautiful within the home. I painted an oak leaf bookcase for our home and it’s transformed our children’s reading habits.
