National Trust

I had the honour of designing a number of exclusive ranges for various properties in Devon & Cornwall including Greenway and Coleton Fishacre in South Devon, Buckland Abbey on the edge of Dartmoor and Cotehele on the banks of the river Tamar in Cornwall. Each range was developed with the retail managers of each property and designed to celebrate the specific elements which make each place so special.

For Cotehele, the Garland range was devoted to the stunning dried flower garland which is traditionally created each winter and hung in the festive season in The Great Hall of the Tudor manor house. The garland is made from thousands of flowers which are grown through the year in the gardens and so my design
process included many discussions with the head gardeners too. The Daffodil design was created for their Spring Daffodil festival which was unfortunately curtailed due to lockdown.

Each range was available to buy across a variety of products within the shops and work was due to start with a number of new and existing properties but very sadly due to the ongoing Covid situation, all collaborations are currently on hold.
