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 have had a rattan revival for almost 2 years now, you heard it here first and any media coverage from here on is surely just inspired by the Tent and the Camel
A quick look at 1st Dibs and perhaps they are slightly ahead of the game ;)
