COLOUR COLLECTION No.1 Our first collection was developed as a simple collection of ‘colours for cupboards’ to reflect something of the downstairs world of the 1900’s. A palette of twelve, diverse but inherently English colours, take inspiration from the now almost forgotten everyday shades of the 20th century. This collection was put together by Adam Bray & Sue Skeen.
A chalky sky blue, with a wrought iron soundtrack, which chimes with the clink of clean china.
The uniform shade of blue cotton drill, perfectly pressed, for all the chores of a working day.
The deepest ‘Quinky’ blue black, to be found in the housekeepers ledger.
This discreet dark basic sits comfortably against all shades, materials and textures.
A pure vegetal green, with a sharp acidic burst, to brighten up any mellow mood.
Nature has a way of enhancing the mundane. This oxidised green sets off a patinated brass tap beautifully.
A robust and hard working green, inspired by waxy, time worn, tarpaulins and tents.
The cool stone slabs, polished by the years of slippered feet, lead us to this timeless neutral shade.
A bright utilitarian red, a small but visible beacon, on a rain beaten bench.
The gentlest of brownish backdrop hues, offering a cosy warm feel and soft landings should you fall.
A subtle caramelised milky shade of that slowly baked comfort food, straight from the Aga.
A timeworn and trusty neutral, boiled well to be rid of all odours and detritus.
