Design Voyeur: Plinth Furniture

From Janet:

This quirky UK outfit sells antiques but also reworks vintage pieces and found objects to create absolute one-offs with a distinct aura of decaying aristocratic grandeur. All pieces are handmade in workshops in England “using the best quality hardwoods and all upholstery features horsehair filling and hand-dyed and antique linens.” The result? Characterful pieces that embody the best of English period style, with a contemporary edge. Get inspired at plinth.net. If you’re in the UK, swing by their showroom in London, SW6 (address on website); a selection of their pieces is also on view at Liberty.

Palette & Paints: Emery et Cie

From Francesca:

Eccentric Belgian architect and designer Agnes Emery handprints all of her of 18th-century-inspired wallpaper and fabric in her Brussels townhouse. She also presides over three shops—in Brussels, Paris, Antwerp—and produces a dizzying array of housewares: lyrical iron furniture, cement and ceramic tiles, her own paint range, fabrics, tableware, and rugs. Just about anything you’d need to create a hallucinogenic interior environment. View her amazing range at emeryetcie.com:

Below: Grotesque and Chimaeras wallpaper; about $16/meter; plus $100/imprint:
