Inspired by the age-old institution of the British pub, with a multi-dimensional, surreal twist, Public House brings a truly British experience to the Milan Ventura Lambrate design district.

Materials used within the exhibition are authentic British origin, reclaimed from old pubs.

Limited Edition Ballantine’s 12 – Designed By Lee Broom

Exclusive serving ritual, influenced by vintage crystal whisky decanters.

The decanter breaks into three individual sections allowing the item to be used in a single or shared occasions:
The base acts as the whisky glass, sealing the notes and aromas.
The middle section is to contain ice cubes and can also be used as a secondary whisky glass.
The top section is to hold water or another mix that enhances the aromas of Ballantine’s 12 Year Old.
The decanter can also be used to prepare cocktails, replacing the ice and water with other ingredients.

The collection consists of six furniture pieces inspired by the curvaceous lines of 1930s upholstery, contrasted with modern stud detailing in either gold or gunmetal.
In upholstery, studding is traditionally used to hide elements of the manufacturing process. For Salon this detail has been exaggerated, creating an edgy modern look, which echoes similar finishing found in punk rock couture.

Oil and vinegar set with adjustable flow control by Joseph And Joseph – Designed By Morph

Dressing food with oil and vinegar can be problematic, with their differing viscosities often leading to too muchor too little of each being dispensed.

The innovative design of these stylish flasks eliminates that problem, by allowing the flow of liquids to be finely adjusted whilst pouring.

Snack Bowl by Joseph and Joseph – Designed By Morph

Double Dish™ provides the perfect solution to the problem of serving snacks such as olives and pistachio nuts, with their inedible stones and shells.

Its unique design comprises of a serving dish sitting on top of a larger collection bowl, curved outwards in three places to allow the disposal of unsightly food waste. As well as hiding any waste from view, Double Dish™ eliminates the need for additional empty bowls on the table.

Made from 100% melamine, the two bowls can also be used for serving other snacks.

Dishwasher safe.

My poster for Ten Images For Ithaca competition that won an Honoured Mention and has been published on their exhibition book.

“Labelling means naming.
It is human instinct to group things with what they are most similar and name them as a whole.
We live in a world filled with labels antagonising each other to win our preference.
There are labels associated with consumer products and fashion.
People voluntarily label themselves in order to have a sense of belonging to a group, but there also labels that people use to categorize others stemming from feelings of racism and xenophobia,
political and religious discrimination, etc.
What is the role of these labels in your life?
How can a label describe the world you live in?
Can a label give the infinite set of experiences, beliefs and desires that summarise each human being? ”
