A vintage 70s sofa. A secondhand boat bar. A growing selection of schnauzer memorabilia in homage to their dog Pepper. There’s something to look at in every corner of producer Dan Spencer and content creator and “queen of cocktails” Pip Jolley’s home in east London.
It’s preloved homeware that adds a distinct charm to their mid-century maximalist space. The newlyweds go to great lengths to source items – and to get them home – a case in point is the vintage sofa that the pair had to painstakingly squeeze up 26 flights of stairs to their 13th-floor flat after a little mishap with measurement. “Carrying it up those 26 flights was definitely a Ross from Friends pivot moment,” says Spencer, laughing at the memory.
