Designers' Own Lines

Dwellings, consisting of mostly contemporary designs by Stephen Sills and James Huniford, was born out of a growing demand for furnishings the pair were custom crafting for their interiors. "We wanted to provide people with a scale that was appropriate for how they live today - we didn't want to supersize everything," says Huniford. Sills is quick to add, "The line needed to be universally complementary with any interior and any decorating sensibility so that it would work in the city or in the country. And the furniture needed to be smaller. We wanted to get away from the overscale consciousness."
