I am delighted to announce that Big Smile for Romo Black Edition has won an ELLE DECORATION British Design Award. The fabric, wallcovering and cushion has won ‘Best British Pattern’
I am definitely wearing a ‘big smile’! It is particularly special because it is a public vote, so a HUGE thank you to everyone who voted.
Read my interview with Elle Decoration to find out what inspired the design, what was the biggest challenge and what I’m working on now here
