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.

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.

The elevated Chinese menu at this family-run restaurant is secret and ever-changing – diners will be asked on arrival for their spice preference but the rest is left to the chefs. Don’t expect kung pao chicken and spring rolls here. More often than not there are light tempura green beans doused in chilli and garlic (nicknamed “chips” by founder Mr Peng, they’re so addictive), or twice-cooked red pork delivered in a paper bag to be ripped open at the table. An insider tasting menu that delivers in spades.
