Philosophy of the Tent:

The best decorating and design takes inspiration from what was once done before. Whether it is in architecture, antiques, art, it all stems from a mix of inspiration and knowledge. I believe it is a duty to pass on and share the knowledge, and by no means do I think I have great knowledge, in fact the more I know the less I know.
This blog is a way not to forget what I have learned and what was kindly passed onto to me by a great many fascinating people. I thank you all.

I Wish for a Wishbone

The Wishbone Chair
Designed by Hens Wegner in 1949, also known as the 'Y' chair, it is one of my favourite mid 20th century designs.  It so easily sits alongside traditional and modern furniture much in the same way (good) chinese lacquer furniture does.  In fact it was inspired by prints of merchants sitting on Ming chairs so no coincidence there.  I have always loved it in black but last year new delicious colours were added - dilemma, dilemma... Available from my favourite London shop for modern classics Twenty Twenty One
