How Fabulous are these?
Award winning Swedish design duo Jimmie Karlsson and Martin Nihlmar of ” baroque meets rock ‘n’ roll” style furniture fame, have taken their eclectic one-off pieces of furniture that combine luxury with both the decadent and quirky and turned them into a unique range of modern, edgy wallpapers…
Each design is custom made to order and each image can be printed and cropped to the shape and size of your wall. An amazing trompe l’oeil effect incorporating any of the fabulous Jimmie Martin creations that you choose in a Bedroom or Living space layout. Glamourous and space saving, what a brilliant idea? I loved them the moment I saw them…
Equally exciting news… is the recent collaboration between Jimmie Martin and Swedish flooring company Bolon. Launched as their first joint venture piece at the Milan Furniture fair earlier this year, was this gorgeous floor mat / wall covering available in a variety of two-tone colour combinations…

Shortly followed by this Jimmie Martin best-selling armchair which can be adapted to any frame colour or leafing and combined with any of the Bolon fabrics… With such a wealth of creativity, skill and craftsmanship, this partnership is definitely one to watch.

Gone are the days when a simple scented candle was hard to find that did not smell of soap. In those days, in my opinion, there was only one luxury candle brand, in those days there was only Diptyque… Now, there are more gorgeous smelling candles on the market, in the shops and online than you can possibly choose from and ranging from every designer, fruit, flower, herb or leaf scent than you can practically imagine.
And then I discovered Cire Trudon, the Ultimate scented candle. The most exquisite and wholly mesmerising range of candle scents that takes fragrance to a new level and totally re-defines the term “scented candle”.
Originally founded in 1643 in Paris, by a Salesman called Claude Trudon. Maison Trudon was in fact the largest most beautiful wax-producing factory in the whole of France…
Renowned supplier to the court of Louis XIVth, the Palace of Versailles and all the greatest cathedrals and churches in the country. Now, Cire Trudon are back in the spotlight, under the direction of Ramdane Touhami, with a whole range of unique and intellectually complex perfumed candles. Unique because, they capture, an entire moment in french history…
From the Imperial Pomp (Empire), to the Parisian Belle Epoque (La Marquise), from the Orient imagined by painters (Odalisque) to the guns of the revolution (Ernesto), from the dreams of Marie Antoinette (Trianon), to the love story of Louis XIVth (Madame de Valliere), from the scent of Parisian Laundry (Manon), to the essence of Versailles (Roi Soleil), each candle is an experience in itself, a powerful combination of incredible scents and a story to tell…
