Inspired by autumn and winter's rich tones and texture, the lunch section embraces the beauty of nature’s seasonal transformations. It celebrates warmth, comfort, and organic elegance—where earthy hues, deep greens, and golden ambers evoke a sense of grounding and refinement. This space is a retreat, offering a moment of pause and connection, where the rhythm of the day slows to appreciate the richness of seasonal abundance. Rooted in nature’s quiet sophistication, the setting fosters a sense of harmony, inviting guests to immerse themselves in an atmosphere where design and the natural world intertwine. Standout designs include: sconces and cutlery by Mexico City-based artist Alana Burns, renowned for her creations inspired by treasures of the sea; a bench by recent Royal College of Art graduate Emma Sheehy, who primarily focuses on wood sculptures; and a dining table by Paris-based painter-sculptor Ugo Schildge who creates surreal depictions of flora and fauna and Conie Vallese sculptural bronze chair.
A snippet of the bits making up dinner... shifting the atmosphere completely into a more surrealist, playful setting. With the centre piece a surfboard table by French Rivera-based design duo Superpoly whose plastic and applied arts reflected the colors and sunshine of the Mediterranean; ontop we have British artist Christabel Macgreevy's blue swirl dining plates, sterling silver cutlery by Argentinian designer and sculptor Conie Vallese, who joined forces with Orit Elhanati to create fine jewelry and cutlery with sculpture flowers; a cabinet by Italian designer Ettore Sottsass who spearheaded the design collective Memphis in the 1980s.

I am pleased to present In Good Company, co-curated by Studio Wright and 32 St. George at LAMB Gallery.
This immersive design exhibition welcomes visitors into an eccentric, playful, and surreal dining room, where three distinct table settings showcase works from a variety of contemporary designers inspired by the shared experience of dining. Each room in the exhibition is dedicated to a specific mealtime—breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Additionally, thirty contemporary artists reimagine the teapot as a canvas for creative expression, highlighting tea as a universal ritual of connection, warmth, and joy in shared moments.
The exhibition will be on until the end of June.
In Good Company - Private view opens this Thursday the 13th from 6-8pm @lamb.gallery@32stgeorge@studiowright_
32 St George St, London W1S 2FJ, United Kingdom
Featuring many great artist and designers and my
‘Sentience of Nature’ bronze series.
Contemplating the sentience of plant life, the symbiotic relationships and the hive mind of the forest or the
wood wide web; this series of bronze sculptures playfully imagines the plants, fungus and trees as insect or
mammalian-like creatures actively scurrying about and interacting with one another in an anthropomorphic way.
