Jewellery and ceramics specialist Completedworks has brought its distinctive brand of offbeat cool to a new showroom and studio in London’s Marylebone. London-based interior design studio Hollie Bowden worked closely with Completedworks’ artistic director Anna Jewsbury on the design, which is inspired by the textural forms of the brand’s jewellery itself.
‘The overall design of the space focused on a search for beauty and simplicity in this particular setting,’ Bowden tells us. ‘The space was quite a severe, industrial shell at the beginning. Anna was a dream partner for this project and we just gelled from the outset – I think we intuitively understood that what the brand needed was a carefully calibrated setting rather than an overly flashy, “interior-designy” approach. We focused on two materials, lime wash and aluminium, that ran through the space. The wrap-around lime wash created a perfectly neutral frame, and with aluminium we explored the different ways the material could be manipulated to create sculptural forms and structures – folding it, hammering and welding.’
