The Very Best Of Wow!house 2025 |
|
|
|
The Adam Architecture Façade By Darren Price |
Darren Price, design director of Adam Architecture, has crafted an exquisite entrance to Wow!house this year: an intricate façade reminiscent of a grand Georgian townhouse. Expect symmetrical arched arcades, handmade cornices, and even a bespoke front door. Stretching to a breathtaking height of 6.5 metres, it's the perfect way to preface all of the delightful design inside. |
|
The Cox London Entrance Hall |
From the Georgian grandeur of the façade, visitors are swept into a hall designed to fit right inside an elegant French chateau. Sculptural pieces by Cox London - including a bespoke Lion Leg table and a showstopping Oak Leaf chandelier - stand proudly among treasures like an 18th-century Norwegian table, an embroidered French quilt, and even a floating staircase. The floor mosaic by the Hackney Mosaic Project, an addiction and mental health charity, is a particularly wonderful feature. |
|
The Samuel Heath Bathroom By Laura Hammett |
This lavish space is an ode to Art Deco - with 2025 marking the centenary of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. Here, you can expect bold geometric shapes, jewel tones, and a treasure trove of hardware by Samuel Heath; of particular note is a brand new vintage bronze tap, as well as the fittings which sit proudly atop the veined marble roll-top bath and calacatta marble-clad vanity unit. The final flourish? A handblown glass light pendant by Laura Hammett Living. |
|
The Curator's Room By Brigitta Spinocchia Freund |
Spanning two spectacular rooms, the Curator's Room is a collaboration with over 100 female artists and designers. From furniture and art to architectural features, every aspect has been produced by female artisans, creating a striking cross-generational tribute to women-led design. |
Curated by Brigitta Spinocchia Freund, the installation showcases both rare and contemporary pieces including folding chairs by Gabriella Crespi; a chandelier by Drift Studio; rugs by STARK; ceiling design in collaboration with Roksanda; and a Studio Sofa from Spinocchia Freund's private collection, reimagined exclusively for the space. |
Wow!house is running at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour until 3 July 2025. Check out our full recap here, and find out more at dcch.co.uk |
