Interior Designers

Inspired by Sir Edwin Lutyens 
One of Britain’s greatest architects, Edwin Lanseer Lutyens (1869 – 1944) changed the face of English country houses and gardens.

Despite the pandemic crisis, 1718 continues to experience its busiest year to date. Michael Mancini explores why provenance and the personal touch have increasing appeal – and how the finishes applied to furniture are becoming ever more inventive.

1718 is named after the year in which Thomas Chippendale was born. But who was Chippendale and why does he mean so much to us? Michael Mancini explores the life of a man who was an extraordinarily talented cabinet maker, designer – and much more besides.

Michael Mancini loves bespoke furniture – then again, he might be a little biased. That’s why he decided to ask three interior designers what it is that they value about hand-crafted furniture, made to order.
