⁠
At No.15 Bath, Philip Cowan Interiors collaborated with GuestHouse Hotels and Interior Design Director Emma Montier to deliver bespoke soft furnishings that bring warmth, comfort and refinement to the recently refurbished guestrooms.⁠
⁠
From hand-crafted triple pinch pleat curtains and contrasting Roman blinds to carefully considered sheers, blackout linings and bespoke detailing, every element was designed to complement the building’s Georgian heritage while enhancing the guest experience.⁠

“Nothing is infinitely flexible.”⁠
⁠

⁠
In our exclusive Q&A, Hayley Lightfoot, Designer at sixteen3, reflects on the frustrations that led to the development of Camino, a modular seating system designed around geometry, clarity and real-world problem solving.⁠
⁠
From impossible floorplans and sleepless nights of overthinking to the idea that the best systems are built on strong frameworks rather than endless options, the conversation explores what flexibility actually means in practice.

⁠
In the latest edition of Workplace Matters, Rob explores why the best workplace cultures aren’t imposed through statements and slogans. They’re shaped through stories, rituals, emotions and experiences.⁠
