Husband-and-wife design duo Russell Pinch and Oona Bannon used their home as a studio, until one morning they were woken by a Norwegian couple who had travelled straight from the airport wanting to buy practically everything in the house. These days they have a showroom on Ebury Street, and there’s a simple elegance to everything in it thanks to the couple’s fierce dedication to craft and refinement. The quiet luxury of the furniture world.

Willow baskets and lighting by Studio AMOS in Sussex; one-off hand-woven throws by London-based textile weaver Catarina Riccabona; and ash spoon and bowl sets by Devon’s woodworking duo Takahashi McGil, are just some of what’s on display at this Pimlico showroom. There are also unique pieces, made especially for The New Craftmaker, such as Alexandra Robinson’s conical-shaped, plaster-finish Arrow Wall Light and hand-built, sculptural stoneware lamps by Studio Viv Lee.

Interior designer, antiques dealer and furniture designer Rose Uniacke does a lot. She’s also a trained furniture restorer, gilder and paint lacquer specialist. Her designs (a green-tiled coffee table or hand- turned three-legged oak chair, perhaps) share the purist bones of her antique finds (a rare Venetian glass mirror, Georgian knee-hole desks) – all combining a beautiful play of light and texture.
