Today, let’s take a closer look at our Shaker Wall Panelling sets. Arts & Crafts is a timeless style that still proves incredibly popular almost 200 years after it was first created. Our Shaker-style wall panelling sets offer you an easy way to bring this classic design into any home. Each set is cleverly designed to allow you to either create traditional Shaker squares, or a more contemporary rectangular design that still offers all the echoes of the Arts & Crafts movement – whichever you desire. At the heart of each board is an MDF core, finished with a White Foil Wrap. Unlike typical timber boards, MDF is dimensionally stable which means it won’t warp or twist on site or once in situ, so you can rest assured that the finished look will stay looking perfect for many years to come. Each set contains six boards, which can be fitted using either a hammer and pins, or with adhesive, depending on whichever is easier for the user. The boards are 12mm thick and measure 94mm wide by 2,400mm long.

We all know that mirrors can make a room appear larger, but they can also be used as a design element to help complete whatever look you're looking for. A mirror can provide either contrast or balance when used correctly. It can also unify a space or serve as the focal point. #hometips #dreamhome #homedecor #thejessegroup

The design presents a sophisticated and contemporary reception area that incorporates the organic essence of crumbled and cracked textures through the use of metal and glass. The artistic installation on the wall, comprising metallic elements with a crumbled texture, acts as a focal point, exuding a sense of modern artistry. The honeycomb patterns within the installation add a geometric contrast to the organic forms, suggesting a hive-like dynamism and community. The reception desk is sleek, with horizontal lines and soft lighting that highlight its form, complementing the wall art without competing for attention. The expansive use of glass allows natural light to flood the space, enhancing the reflective qualities of the metal and creating an airy, open atmosphere. The overall design is coherent, with a balanced interplay between the warmth of the wood-like ceiling panels and the coolness of the metal and glass. It's a bold statement of luxury and modern design, intended to impress while also establishing an inviting space for residents and guests. #CrumbledAndCracked #DesignPhilosophy #ElegantDecay #sustainabledesigns

(2/3) Designer Spotlight / Ettore Sottsass⁠ In 1980, Sottsass founded his design collective, Memphis, named after the Bob Dylan song ‘Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again’. It dominated the Italian design scene with its brightly colored plastics and rebellious nature. Jasper Morrison, upon seeing the debut exhibition of the group, “you were in one sense repulsed by the objects, or I was, but also immediately freed by the sort of total rule-breaking.” This act of liberation was reflected in breaking away from modernist doctrine and embodying a sort of ‘anything goes’ mindset in terms of design. For Sottsass, this marked a period of transition in his career. He still referenced elements of pop culture, but now it was to critique instead of celebrate it. The Carlton bookcase is perhaps the most recognizable object in connection to Memphis and a direct realization of the group’s anti-functionalist maxim. Of functionalism, Sottsass expressed that “It’s not enough. Design should also be sensual and exciting” . And so, the Carlton is a bookcase, room divider and dresser all at once. Stack upon stack of brightly laminated MDF at varying angles, it was a statement piece, a totem of sorts. It was everything but a practical piece of furniture. Other notable pieces were the Tahiti and Ashoka lamp, bearing resemblance to the Carlton.
