I loved creating this ikebana arrangement with the Frequency Centrepiece, using select spring flowers and foliage from my garden. The contrast of the smooth surface of the bowl against the cracked plaster walls added texture to the scene. Aren't they striking?Ĭapturing the collection was no mean feat - the highly polished steel reflects back every surface, which I very much welcome in our dining room which, despite its south-facing aspect gets the least amount of light. Here, I've picked new shoots from a Sarah Bernhardt peony, whose deep red stems unfurl into vibrant green leaves. Living close to the river here, (though Medway is definitely not L.A!) I can understand why Kelly's work is often informed by nature. The undulating waves picking up the soft mid-morning sun in the bedroom, bouncing it back onto the walls.
Each piece changes its appearance according to the nuances of the light. Inspired by her home on Malibu beach, the steel waves evoke a sense of fluidity, balance and energy. I think the collection beautifully combines Kelly's contemporary Californian style with Georg Jensen's Scandinavian heritage. I've chosen three of six pieces using foliage and blooms from my garden to illustrate their dramatic, sculptural presence. This collection is different for its pared-back, minimal feel which fits so well in my home. Known for her exploration of colour, pattern and making vintage look contemporary, Kelly's work is so distinctive that you recognise it instantly. Handcrafted in striking stainless steel, the new Frequency collection is the result of a collaboration with world-renowned American designer Kelly Wearstler.
With over 100 years of design history, the brand continues its signature style of simplistic, organic forms, collaborating with innovative designers who understand its Danish sensibilities.
Almost. This week, I've had the pleasure of styling a brand new collection from Danish silversmiths Georg Jensen. It's been wonderful to watch the quality of light change as shadowy corners disappear and there are moments when sitting in the warm sun in the garden are almost within grasp. We've sorted through the clutter of winter and freshened up our tired looking living room. These first few days of Spring have without a doubt given us all a boost here at home.
