As the new design season unfolds, I’m beyond excited to share a collaboration that holds a special place in my heart. I’ve admired Robert Langford’s elegant product selection and timeless style for years, and today, I am so proud to say that we’ve finally joined forces! Robert is one of the kindest, most warm-spirited people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. No wonder—he’s from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, a place where everyone seems to have that same genuine friendliness. It feels only natural that our worlds should come together, blending my bold, expressive spirit of African luxury with Robert’s sophisticated English craftsmanship. This September, we unveil our exclusive collection at Focus, Design Centre Chelsea Harbour—a true fusion of West African vibrancy and Robert’s timeless, refined elegance.
A Home that Feels Like You: Exquisite Furniture for Every Room
When we set out to create this collection, we wanted it to be about more than just beautiful furniture. We envisioned pieces that would breathe life into every corner of your home, creating spaces where moments are cherished and memories made. This is about reimagining your home, from the living room to the dining room and beyond, with a range that celebrates warmth, heritage, and character.
Living Room: I’ve always believed that the living room is the soul of the home, and this collection reflects that perfectly. Imagine a striking statement sofa, upholstered in the soft green of our Imole textile, becoming the focal point of your living space. Paired with a chic ottoman coffee table and 1960s-inspired chairs, these pieces reflect not just style but a story. The wooden inlays on the chairs bring a touch of craftsmanship that feels so true to Robert’s design ethos, while our vibrant textiles add a layer of cultural depth that I’m so proud to share.
Bedroom: For me, the bedroom should always feel like a retreat, a sanctuary. Our luxurious bed—wrapped in the subtle beige of our Ife textile—brings an air of tranquillity to the space. The three-panel headboard and matching base in a plain batik fabric create a sense of unity, while the statement, end-of-bed ottomans and swivel chairs offer practical beauty. Every piece is designed not just to furnish but to invite relaxation, reflection, and rest. It’s where elegance and comfort meet.
Dining and Kitchen Areas: I’ve always loved the idea of meals being more than just a routine—they’re moments of connection. And with our banqueting seating, upholstered in the serene blue of our light blue batik textile, every meal becomes a shared experience in a space filled with beauty and warmth. To complete the look, Robert Langford's stylish Polo dining chairs, featuring our Ayo fabric in an elegant light blue complement the banqueting seating perfectly, adding a touch of modern elegance with their clean lines and refined silhouette. Whether for a casual breakfast or an intimate dinner, these pieces are designed to enhance every gathering, making the dining room not just a place to eat but to celebrate and connect.
African Design Meets British Craftsmanship
What makes this collection so special to me is that it’s more than just furniture—it’s the coming together of two worlds that I hold close to my heart. The boldness of African luxury, expressed in the vibrant patterns and colours of our textiles, merges effortlessly with the clean lines and understated elegance of British craftsmanship. The rich blue of Ayo, the calm beige of Ife, and the refreshing green of Imole—each textile has been carefully chosen to add depth and vibrancy to the collection, creating pieces that stand out but also feel timeless.
A Journey of Creative Synergy
Working with Robert has been a dream come true, not just because of his eye for design but because of the way he approaches his work—with heart, grace, and such a kind spirit. Our collaboration is the result of years of mutual admiration, and I’m so excited for you to experience the fusion of our styles in your own home. Every piece in this collection tells a story, a journey of craftsmanship and culture, designed to inspire and elevate your interiors.
The collection is currently on display at the Robert Langford showroom in the South Dome at Chelsea Harbour. So, if you’re nearby, come and visit us to experience the beauty and elegance of this collaboration firsthand.
Here’s to creating spaces that are not only beautiful but personal, rich with meaning, and filled with the vibrant energy of African luxury and the elegance of British design. I can’t wait for you to see it yourself.
