Shopper’s Diary: Another Country in Marylebone, London

May 27, 2014

Over the last five years, we’ve watched Another Country evolve from a three-legged stool to a full furniture and housewares collection, and, now, a Marylebone, London shopfront. It’s easy to see why the UK company has been such a success. Founded by Paul de Zwart, whose list of design credentials includes collaborations with Tyler Brí»lé (de Zwart was the cofounder of Wallpaper magazine), Ilse Crawford, and Alasdhair Willis, Another Country designs strike a chord with those looking for well-made modern classics–the venture started when de Zwart went on a quest for the archetypal stool and ended up deciding to make his own. One piece led to the next, and a mission to create archetypal designs that “call on the familiar and unpretentious forms of British Country kitchen style, Shaker, traditional Scandinavian, and Japanese woodwork for inspiration.”

Up until last month, prospective buyers were limited to viewing Another Country collections online and at design fairs. Now, at the company’s first shop in Marylebone, the line is displayed in room settings filled with ideas worth bringing home.

Above: Simple but strong materials, such as black hexagonal floor tiles, white subway tiles, and a wood ceiling, work well with the Another Country aesthetic. The oiled ash and brass Bucket£590, was inspired by Finnish sauna buckets and Japanese rice barrels. The sink’s copper pipe faucet adds an element of surprise.
