Designing a Tropical Surfer’s Paradise

For it’s sixth season, we collaborated with Coppa Club to design and curate the transformation of their Tower Bridge terrace. This year we decided to go for a Surfer’s Paradise theme to warm the Summer months. One of the most noticeable additions is the Vintage VW Camper van bar from Beetle Juice, that sits in place of the front two igloos. This was a perfect fit to the theme and terrace, providing customers with amazing drinks and surfer’s vibes.

The pods also got a makeover by the wonderful team at Cameron Gardens. They dressed the pods with tonnes of leafy foliage and cute little hanging pineapples. We paired this with tropical plants supplied by Patch, that work together to create a lush paradise.

It wouldn't be a surfer’s theme without some surfboards. We gave them a splash of pastel colour and placed them around the terrace and entrance. We also used one of the surfboards to display the Bar Menu which leans casually against the camper van.

Another great aspect of this year’s terrace, is the ‘epic swing’. A bespoke surfboard swing that sits in the corner of the terrace, perfectly framing Tower Bridge- one of the many curated photo ops! A stainless steel ‘Surfer’s Paradise’ sign completes this little corner, along with tropical plants and rocks.

If you haven’t already, we highly suggest going down and enjoying a cocktail this Summer. Hurry, they're booking up fast!

Kate Moss’s London House

Kate Moss has revealed her ethos for designing the perfect bathroom. In an interview with Architectural Digest, the Model spoke on her eclectic taste and control freak tendencies. “I love mixing old and new things, all different eras”. She states how old movies are a big influence to her bathroom design, with their sophisticated chaise lounges and huge claw-foot bath tubs. Extravagance oozes from all aspects of this room, with a James Worrall Vintage Chandelier hung directly above the tub and hand painted silk wallpaper designed by bespoke wallpaper company de Gournay. “They created a silver-tinted ­anemone pattern (according to Greek mythology, the flower is thought to ­symbolise luck). The result of an intimate design process, Anemones in Light depicts cascading blooms overlapping shards of solar radiance, and will become part of de Gournay’s permanent collection. “I’ve always loved what they do. It’s like vintage jewellery—it’s special,” she says”.

Kate mentions having a similar characteristic for her country house-

“My bathroom in the ­country has a chesterfield, and when I have my birthday parties there, we always end up hanging out in it,” Moss explains. “It’s got a record player, it’s cozy, it’s fun—there’s potions and lotions and smelly things. Everyone’s welcome.”

We love the sound of Kate Moss’s bathroom and think all houses should take note. Having the ultimate suave space to relax at the end of the day. Adding a sense of luxury to the everyday.
