Our People

Christopher Hodsoll

He is considered a legendary figure among high-end decorators, aristocrats, and international tastemakers. Over a career spanning four decades he has cultivated a strong reputation among design circles and a wealthy, high-profile clientele, including the late Duke of Edinburgh, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Sting, Damien Hirst, and Charles Saatchi. His personal collections and historic homes (such as Morville Hall) have been the subject of dedicated, high-profile auctions at major houses such as Bonhams and Christie's.

Anna Sobolewska

Interior Designer, Food & Beverage

Anna Sobolewska is an interior designer specialising in the food & beverage sector, with nine years of experience shaping some of Birmingham's most talked-about new venues. Her work includes The Rolling Mill in the Jewellery Quarter, transforming a grand industrial space into a vibrant, comfortable bar while honouring its heritage, achieved through authentic materials and considered lighting that let the space's industrial past and its new life sit comfortably together. She also designed the interiors for a striking 1920s-inspired venue, using set-dressing, materiality, and lighting to transport guests into an immersive, era-defined atmosphere.

We deliver full-scheme design for residential and commercial spaces, from spatial planning through to final styling, managed end-to-end including trade sourcing. Every project is treated as bespoke — we don't run a house style that gets applied regardless of the brief.

Our Process

1

Discover

We spend time in the space and with the client to understand how it's actually lived in or used before any design work starts.

2

Define

We set the brief, budget, and scope in writing, so every later decision is measured against an agreed starting point.

3

Design

Spatial planning, material palette, and furnishing scheme are developed together, not as separate sign-offs.

4

Develop

Drawings are refined into a buildable specification, with trade sourcing and procurement running in parallel.

5

Deliver

We manage installation and styling on-site through to handover, so the scheme is finished to the standard it was designed to.
