When my husband and I bought our warehouse home in South East London, we
had been drawn to the unique heritage and character of the building, but we knew
very little about the local area. In the following months, we discovered a number
of unique and unusual enterprises in our quiet corner of the capital. Several
make an appearance in this issue. A short walk west along the river is one of my
favourite buildings, the former Bankside Power Station - now Tate Modern. Given
the tremendous success of this industrial conversion it’s remarkable that it stood
derelict for almost 20 years and faced demolition. Pioneering architects Herzog &
de Meuron are now on site at Tate Modern again, realising an ambitious extension
to their original scheme. We learn more about their vision for the monolithic power
station on pages 6-7. On a smaller scale, our new neighbours The Shipping Press
inspired us to explore other creative initiatives in the UK based in cargo containers
(pages 8-9). You’ll spot the influence of ‘cargotecture’ elsewhere in the issue too.
Since the launch of Warehouse Home last year, we’ve received emails from readers
all over the country and much further afield. From Liverpool to London, Canada
to China, the feedback to Warehouse Home has been overwhelmingly positive.
Wherever you live and whatever your style, we’ve worked tirelessly to source
original ideas and inspiration for your home. We’re also thrilled to be launching
our debut design collection (pages 4-5), created exclusively with warehouse homes
in mind. We hope you enjoy Issue Two of Warehouse Home and look forward to
hearing which features you’ve particularly liked. Issue Three will be published in
November, when we’ll also reveal our second design collection. Until then, you can

HERZOG & DE MEURONICONIC ARCHITECTURE
t is 20 years since Herzog & de
Meuron were selected to design
London’s Tate Modern. Remarkably,
when the Swiss architects won
the competition for the project in
1995, many in the British media were baffled.
The selection compounded their confusion
at Tate’s decision to convert a derelict power
station into a modern art gallery. And several
expressed surprise that Tate had not selected
a British architectural firm to create a
contemporary landmark for London. But when
it opened in 2000, Tate Modern was heralded
as the centrepiece of the capital’s millenium
celebrations and was fast adopted by the nation
as one of its most cherished cultural and
architectural icons. Today, Tate Modern is the
world’s most visited modern art museum. It is
one of the UK’s top three tourist attractions and
generates an estimated £100 million in economic
benefits to London annually.
A formidable duo, architects Jacques Herzog
and Pierre de Meuron first met when they were
just seven years old. Their practice, founded in
Basel in 1978, now comprises six international
offices, employing 41 associates and around
420 collaborators. During the last two decades,
Herzog & de Meuron have built up a substantial
portfolio of global projects and achieved
international renown. Highlights include the
nest-like Beijing National Stadium, gravity-
defying CaixaForum in Madrid and
monumental Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.
But their largest project, and the one for which
Herzog & de Meuron are perhaps still best
known, remains Tate Modern.
Herzog & de Meuron are currently back on
site on London’s South Bank, driving an
ambitious new extension to Tate Modern that
will transform the Bankside Power Station yet
again. “It is exciting for us to deal with existing
structures,” says Jacques Herzog, “because the
attendant constraints demand a very different
kind of creative energy.” Herzog & de Meuron’s
combined creative energy and extraordinary
vision have transformed the fate of this and
several other neglected giants. Their light-
handed approach and sensitive preservation
of the buildings’ original industrial features is
deceptively simple. It is actually brave and bold.
Bankside Power Station
was designed by Sir Giles
Gilbert Scott and built in
two phases between 1947
and 1963. Decommissioned
in 1981, the derelict giant
often faced demolition. But
in 1994 it was announced
that the former power
station was the intended
venue for a new Tate gallery
for modern art.
Swiss architects Herzog &
de Meuron were selected
to realise the ambitious
conversion because their
proposal retained as much
of the original character of
the building as possible.
“Our strategy,” reflects
Jacques Herzog, “was to
accept the physical power
of Bankside’s massive
mountain-like brick building
and to even enhance it
rather than breaking it
CaixaForum seems to levitate.
The classified brick walls were
the only material of the former
power station that Herzog &
de Meuron could utilise. And
so in order to insert the new
architectural components
of the CaixaForum Project,
they began by surgically
extracting the parts of the
buliding no longer required.
By removing the base of the
building, a new covered plaza
was created under the brick
shell, seemingly floating above
street level. The spaces above
and below the plaza function

INDUSTRIAL
STRENGTHS
or trying to diminish it.
This is a kind of Aikido
strategy where you use
your enemy’s energy for
your own purposes. Instead
of fighting it, you take all
the energy and shape it in
unexpected and new ways.”
Work commenced in
1995. Huge long-dormant
machines were removed
from the site and the
building was gradually
stripped back to its steel
structure and brickwork.
The cavernous former
turbine hall became a
dramatic entrance and
display area, and the
former boiler house was
transformed into galleries.
Cast iron details and
unfinished wooden floors
sensitively reflected the
original aesthetic. But
contemporary additions,
such as the glass light
beam along the roof,
provide a subtle yet striking
contrast to the building’s
original masonry.
This latest phase of the Tate
Modern development will
transform the iconic power
station yet again. A new
pyramidal building is being
constructed, to the south of
the power station.

as separate entities. The
multi-storied building above
houses the new entrance
lobby, galleries, a restaurant
and administrative offices.
Meanwhile, the subterranean
space beneath the plaza
is the discrete home to
a theater, service rooms
and parking spaces.
Most striking of all is
the sculptural exterior of
CaixaForum, incorporating
the former power station’s
brick walls to subtly reflect
the rooftop silhouettes of
the surrounding buildings.
“Our strategy was to accept the physical
power of Bankside’s massive mountain-like

rather than breaking it or trying to diminish it.”

Designed as if “growing
out of” the original building,
the extension is both raw
and refined, with band-like
windows set into a brick
lattice facade. Where the
turbine hall defined the
previous conversion, the
vast oil tanks beneath the
new building are sure to be
regarded as its centrepiece.
Used to store oil for the power
station’s turbines, these
enormous, raw industrial
underground drums form
unique new gallery spaces.
Situated directly across
the Thames from St Paul’s,
Tate Modern has often been
referred to as something
of an industrial cathedral.
On completion of this
ambitious extension, it
will certainly be an even
more popular destination
for design devotees.

Standing majestically
on the western tip of
Hamburg’s HafenCity, at
the mouth of the river Elbe,
an astonishing new Herzog
& de Meuron project is
nearing completion after ten
years in construction.
At its base, the
Elbphilharmonie comprises
a brick-built 1960s
warehouse, the Kaispeicher.
But extruded from this
simple red brick form, a
contemporary glass addition
rears up, wave-like, to
an imposing 110 metres
in height at the Kaispitze
(the tip of the peninsula).
The glistening surface of
this undulating structure
is punctuated with gill-like
openings and balconies and
reflects the tones and tides
of the surrounding waters.
The heart of the
Elbphilharmonie will be the
Grand Hall, a world-class
concert hall with seating
for 2,100 guests and an
internal height of 50 metres.
The remarkable building will
further include recital halls,
a luxury hotel, a restaurant
Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
Hamburg / Completion Due 2016
“A building is a building. It
cannot be read like a book;
it doesn’t have any credits,
subtitles or labels like a
picture in a gallery. In that
sense, we are absolutely
anti-representational.
The strength of our buildings
is the immediate, visceral
impact they have on a visitor.”
Jacques Herzog
and 45 apartments.
An elongated escalator will
transport visitors through
the entire warehouse, past
a panorama window. In
the space between old
and new, at the top of the
Kaispeicher and beneath
its glass extension, an
expansive plaza will offer
360 degree panoramic
views of the surrounding
harbour and the city.
An imposing new landmark,
Elbphilharmonie symbolizes
the transformation of
Hamburg’s docklands.

CONTAINERSICONIC ARCHITECTURE
SHIP TO STUDIO
Decommissioned
shipping containers that
once travelled the globe
are being repurposed
worldwide for innovative
architectural schemes.
The sizeable steel
cuboids are sustainable,
secure and relocatable,
making them practical
building blocks. Across
the UK, from smaller
modular structures
to entire container
communities, colourful
cargo clusters are giving
a home to creative
studios and start-up
spaces. With several
box-based initiatives
on our doorstep, we
shipped out to explore
the phenomenon.
ContainerVille
Regents Canal, London
Set along the bankside of London’s Regents
Canal, ContainerVille was launched in 2014 with
the specific aim of offering affordable workspace
for start-ups and small businesses. Within close
proximity to London’s Silicon Roundabout, the
development is home to enterprises ranging from
cupcake companies to IT firms. ContainerVille tenant
Paul Vowels, founder of the fantastic new online rug
and lifestyle emporium woven.co.uk explains “we
found the canal-side location and set up unique and
inspiring. Like our business, it’s a little bit different.”
30 shipping containers, stacked on two levels,
are fitted out to function as modern workspaces
overlooking the water. The outside space has been
landscaped to further encourage socialising and
collaboration between the tenants. estateoffice.com
District 10
Seabraes Yard, Dundee
A £1 billion project, Dundee Waterfront is the
second largest regeneration project in Scotland
and one of the top twenty such projects in the
UK. It includes the redevelopment of the former
railway yard Seabraes - earmarked to become the
centre of Dundee’s creative industries, just a few
minutes’ walk from the new VA and the city’s
arts and design universities. On its completion,
District 10 will comprise ten container buildings
specifically designed for early stage creative
companies. The first of these, Building 01, is already
complete. Constructed from 37 repurposed shipping
containers, it can accommodate 15 companies, with
shared kitchen facilities encouraging collaboration
between occupiers. Its first tenants include luxury
luggage label LAT_56. dundeewaterfront.com

From small side cabinets
to more sizeable storage,
there’s a real feel for freight
this season. Containers and
crates are as stylish and
fun as they are solid and
functional. We’ve packed in
four of our favourites.
Landry Packing Crate bedside table
This quirky cabinet is part of a range
by Italian designers Seletti. We like
the irreverant juxtaposition of the
packing crate body with the ornate
Baroque style legs. It’s fun furniture,
whether displayed individually or as a
set. £595, outthereinteriors.com
Kontainr
Hand crafted from decommissioned
cargo containers, including the bar
locking system, this cabinet offers
heavy duty storage for your home or
office. The vibrant yellow finish and
bold design make a real statement.
£659, reasonseasontime.co.uk
Pandora container cabinet
These modular cabinets, made in the
Netherlands, were inspired by brightly
coloured cargo containers. Available
in any RAL colour, stackable and with
the option to add wheels, they’re
endlessly customisable. Unit pictured
€6,714, sandermulder.com
Beverly Hills coffee table
This one-of-a-kind table was crafted
from a repurposed pine crate once
used to ship artwork from Los
Angeles to London. It’s lined with
pages from a 1924 French illustrated
dictionary and mounted on tapered
orange legs. £620, crateive.co.uk
Container City
Trinity Buoy Wharf, London
Trinity Buoy Wharf is just a short boat ride from the
Warehouse Home office, and only half a mile from
Canary Wharf. It boasts fantastic views of the Thames,
the O2 Arena and the Docklands skyline and is home
to London’s only remaining lighthouse as well as a
number of colourful container buildings. In 1996, Urban
Space Management won a competition to develop the
historic but derelict Trinity Buoy Wharf into a centre
for the arts and creative industries. Their versatile
modular Container City™ system reduced the building
costs and time and minimised the need for concrete
foundations on the historic site. The once rundown
area of London’s Docklands has now been transformed
into a thriving creative community of over 350 people,
including tenants such as English National Opera and
the Royal Drawing School. trinitybuoywharf.com
The Sharp Project
Thorp Road, Manchester
Launched in 2011, The Sharp Project has found
an innovative new use for a previously redundant
distribution centre. Housed within the former Sharp
Electronics warehouse, it offers over 200,000 sq ft
of workspace, as well as film, television and music
studios and production spaces. Stacks of shipping
container units within the warehouse are now home
to over 60 businesses from across the creative
digital sector, generating a vibrant collaborative
and competitive atmosphere. Manchester has long
been regarded as the UK’s emerging media city and
The Sharp Project acts as a springboard into the
industry for start-up companies. Its tenants include
CGI and film makers, gaming start-ups, digital
agencies and graphic designers running projects
for clients worldwide. thesharpproject.co.uk
The Shipping Press
South Dock Marina, London
Just along the river from the Warehouse Home office
is London’s largest marina. Secluded in a corner of its
busy boatyard, we recently met a small community
of creatives who have claimed shipping containers
as their workspaces. In this Thameside haven, away
from the bustle of the capital, printmakers Jack Blake
and Barbara Salvadori have transformed a second
storey container into a tranquil studio. “Our work
is naturally inspired by our studio’s unconventional
setting,” Jack told us. Struck by The Shipping Press’
colourful maritime related and cargo inspired designs,
we commissioned a Limited Edition series of shipping
container screen prints. The three prints are available
exclusively as part of the Warehouse Home capsule
collection (see pages 4-5 or visit mywarehousehome.

COLOURINTERIORS TRENDS
SUMMER COLOUR
Our June issue is a celebration of colour. From vibrant primary shades to delicate
pastel hues, we’re demonstrating how easy it is to bring colour into an industrial
scheme. Warehouse conversions with original features have character and grit,
so don’t be afraid to make bold choices. Contrast raw steel and exposed brick
with bright accent shades for an instant contemporary update to a heritage home.
Cobalt blue and buoyant orange are essential shades this summer and paired
together, they’re electric! Vintage and industrial designs are also showing a softer
side in sunshine yellow and fresh shades of green and mint. Explore our spectrum.

“Colour is one of the most dynamic elements in design
and decoration. Even its absence makes its presence
felt. Subtle and allusive or bold and invigorating,
there’s nothing like it to add spice to life and soul to
your surroundings.” In his latest book, Terence Conran
explores the full science and spectrum of colour, from
defining spaces to creating unity or contrast. This is an
essential guide to embracing colour in your home.

PERFORATED METALINTERIORS TRENDS
Perforated metal has a lightness that is both physical and visual.
Stamped holes in sheet metal can enhance acoustics and create
a variety of light effects, making punctured metal a practical and
appealing way to channel an industrial look at home. Choose from any
of these perforated metal designs in pastel shades and bright summer
hues and score a hole in one with this season’s trend.

Meccano gives boys the secrets of the world’s wonderful engineering structures.
FRANK HORNBY, INVENTOR, MECCANO
Meccano was invented in 1898 by Liverpudlian clerk Frank Hornby. The father of two young boys, Hornby was
inspired to design a collection of metal parts and perforated tin pieces that would enable them to build replicas of
the unloading cranes in Liverpool’s busy docks. The wide appeal of the construction system clearly apparent, it was
developed and marketed under the brand ‘Mechanics Made Easy.’ In 1907, the name Meccano was patented and the
first factory opened in Liverpool. The brand experienced meteoric growth and by 1951, the Meccano plant in Belleville,
France, was producing over 500,000 boxes per day. Today, a new Meccano furniture range channels the original ethos
of Meccano and supersizes it for the home. There are 21 assembly parts for building desks, stools and storage in nine
different colours. Construct, customise and reconfigure colourful industrial designs for your home and have fun doing
it! We assembled this yellow and grey Meccano chair in the office and found that a Bolt desk light made the perfect
partner. Meccano chair, £202, hollowaysofludlow.com; Tonone Bolt desk light by Anton de Groof, £236, scp.co.uk

PLYWOODINTERIORS TRENDS
Plywood might look light as a feather, but make no mistake - this light-hued wood hides a
distinctive strength and durability. Its warmth, texture and sustainability also make plywood
a firm favourite with designers. Iconic plywood designs, such as the Penguin Donkey, have
been in production for over 70 years. Now several contemporary pieces also promise to
become collectables. For a playful take on ply this summer, pick creations with a fun pop of
primary colour. Au natural or with a colourful twist, there’s no question veneer will go far.
VENEER AND FAR
Husband and wife team Steve
and Eliza launched their
Brighton-based design company
in 2011. Catching up with
BainesFricker at Clerkenwell
Design Week in May, we found
plenty to admire in their latest
collection. The simple form of
the SB01-1 chair was inspired
by a silhouette in a poster
for a 1935 Zurich exhibition,
“Der Stuhl” (The Chair). It’s
accompanied by an inviting
bench and a selection of stools
and tables, all made exclusively
from plywood and with the
subtle addition of colour.

NATURAL MATERIALS INTERIORS TRENDS
Designers have been developing fantastic new applications for cork in the past few years. From
furniture and accessories to unusual lighting, an increasing emphasis on sustainability in design
has made cork a popular choice. Cork is flexible and strong and, with its raw finish and tactile
quality, it’s a particularly interesting material for an industrial setting. High street and high
end, there are clever accessories to suit every budget. This furniture’s corked. And we like it.

Harvested from the bark of mature trees in southwest Europe and northwest Africa,
cork is a sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly material that is extremely
versatile. It’s lightweight, water resistant and fire resistant too. Not to mention the
fact that it looks fantastic!

With a strong focus on natural materials in
design this season, the humble tree stump has
been resurrected and brought indoors. Every
stump is unique, the knots and grain of the wood
adding to its character and making a simple
stool or side table a stylish addition to any home.
We were felled by these three fine specimens.
Bleu Nature have combined the natural
beauty of wood with a vibrant neon paint for
a contemporary look, while Craig Narramore’s
pewter fused bog oak stump also has an ultra-
modern appearance. The ancient petrified wood
stumps in The Sofa Chair Company’s Fossil
Table range are over 25 million years old and
have been left unadorned. So, why settle for an
ordinary side table? Branch out.

From high street to high-end, faux botanicals of all shapes and
sizes are now so realistic that it is easier than ever to bring
greenery into your home. Tall and tropical leaves, waxy succulents
and clusters of cacti are this season’s must-have plants and their
spiky shapes perfectly complement an industrial interior. But
these no-maintenance faux fronds are also an ideal solution for
any home where outdoor space is scarce. Fill hanging planters and
window boxes or create simple yet stylish centerpieces. In a
small corner of our warehouse home, we experimented with luxe
copper tones, geometric planters and vintage vessels and found
that gardening is not just for the green fingered.

MARBLE INTERIORS TRENDS
Marble has made a welcome comeback, inspiring a diverse range of homewares. With its natural refinement
and timeless quality, the sophisticated stone complements any contemporary interior, but it’s particularly
striking in an industrial scheme. Marble accessories, tactile and versatile, make a statement when paired
with concrete, wood or metal. Faux marble finishes, reflecting the distinctive veins of the ancient rock, are
an affordable and quirky way to channel the trend. Real or faux, marble is a solid investment this season.

The award-winning
Holloways of Ludlow
kitchen design team
returned to Clerkenwell
Design Week this year
to showcase a striking
kitchen island in concrete
and brass. Created in
collaboration with French
design studio Concrete
LCDA, the oversized
island unit was crafted
using a single piece of
authentically raw concrete
and features drawers with
an un-lacquered solid
brass trim. The drawers’
brass ‘finger bars’ continue
uninterrupted around the
unit, providing an elegant
geometric contrast to the
industrial chic concrete
panels. The tactile worktop
is formed from a single
slab of poured concrete
and an inset brass trivet
is a practical yet stylish
finishing touch.

CONCRETE DECISIONS
Raw concrete defines an industrial scheme. But new technologies and
treatments have given it a refined new look that’s raised the bar. Inlaying
flecks of gold, clustered crystals, fine fabrics and veins of precious metals,
innovative designers are transforming concrete from humble to high-
end. From the tactile contrast of concrete and linen to the visual appeal
of neutral plaster paired with gleaming geometric inlays, if you’ve been
seeking industrial luxe, look no further. We’ve picked the perfect panels.

Sometimes all it takes is a simple idea. Frequently moving
between different cities and often disposing of furniture
as a result, Kyle Hoff and Alex O’Dell were inspired to
find a solution. They designed a table leg with a simple F
clamp, which could convert different surface materials into
functional modular tables, enabling easy transportation
and endless customisation. Their Kickstarter campaign last
year received over $250,000 in backing from supporters in
more than 30 countries. Now in production, the legs ship
internationally, so all you need to do is source a tabletop (we
recommend an old door or reclaimed timber for a strong
industrial look). The legs are manufactured with American
steel in Detroit and are available in two different lengths,
powder coated in the three primary colours. The legs take
their name from Kyle’s father, grandfather and great-
grandfather, who were all steel mill workers. Set of four Floyd

Decorating with a crisp monochrome palette
adds drama to any space. And, as our stylist
Zoe explains, “A monochrome scheme goes
hand in hand with geometric design. It also
creates the perfect invitation for a bright
pop of the colour of your choice.” Styling this
London loft apartment, we channelled the
monochrome trend and teamed it with strong
geometric patterns and graphic prints. Shots of
brilliant yellow and grey, together with select
wooden accessories, add further interest to the
sophisticated scheme. The distinctive frame of
the contemporary industrial style bed set the
tone for our bedroom, the headboard’s shape
echoed in the chevron prints.

From the practical to the playful, with many of us living in smaller apartments, flexible modular furniture designs are increasingly
valued. Savvy storage solutions are essential in homes where space is at a premium. And the ability to reconfigure furniture is
particularly convenient in spaces that are dual purpose, such as open-plan living-dining areas and studies which double as guest
rooms. Stacking, sliding, slotting together, these latest designs can be endlessly and effortlesly adjusted and reconfigured to
meet your needs. These are the multi-purpose modules for the modern day.

Lighting Tips
Available in a wide variety of classic colours
and vibrant shades, round and twisted fabric-
covered flexes are a cost-effective way to
complete the lighting in your home. Whether
you are suspending a vintage shade or
hanging clusters of bare bulbs, it is important
to pick the right cable in a complementary or
contrasting colour. These cords made the cut.
BRIGHTS AND LIGHTS
Hot
flex
Hang a single bare bulb on a coloured
cord as a striking bedroom reading
light. Suspend low over a bedside table
and use a heritage style filament bulb
for a warm glow that will create an
inviting ambience.
Whether it’s a flea-market find or an
old heirloom, give a vintage lamp a
new look with a colourful cable. Try
bright yellow or a chevron pattern
for a cool contrast and instantly
transform your table lamp.
3№:
Pair a brightly coloured flex with a
vintage light shade for a look that is
both suprising and contemporary. A
pale or pastel coloured enamel shade
will look amazing teamed with electric
blue or neon pink.

A trip to the toolshed inspired designer-maker
Becky Creed to create The Turned Paper
Collection. The 27-year-old contemporary
craft graduate had often watched her
father, a furniture maker, using traditional
woodworking tools and techniques. Working
on her debut lighting collection, she had
experimented with a variety of different
materials but was particularly keen to pursue
a recycled and sustainable option. By layering
and bonding together dozens of sheets of
recycled and hand dyed paper, Becky found
she could create a solid block of workable
material which could then be shaped and
turned on a traditional lathe. “The first time
I used the lathe,” she remembers, “I was
knocked out by a piece of flying material!”
Fortunately, she recovered and persevered.
Becky uses chisels and sandpaper to finely
craft each paper block into a cylindrical light,
the process revealing a unique marbling effect.
We were immediately struck by Becky’s
distinctive lighting and saw a solution for
the waste copies from our first print run. We
commissioned Becky to create 50 Limited
Edition Warehouse Home pendants. Each light
is crafted from 15 newspapers and finished
with a natural flex and brass fixture. The lights
are available “au natural”, made solely from
the newspaper, or with the addition of a hand
painted blue interior and flecks of recycled
blue card. They are approximately 25cm in
length and 12cm in diameter. So, now there’s
another way to enjoy Warehouse Home! £100

MACHINE
AGE Machine components and cog-inspired shapes complement
warehouse interiors and bring a dash of factory chic to any
space. From repurposed motors and engine parts to finely tooled
precious metals and porcelain modelled on machinery, lighting
is taking on a distinctly industrial edge. Tarnished and polished,
serrated rings and screw details make these sculptural and
stacked lamps stand out. We herald a return to the Machine Age.
These remarkable wall
lights are crafted from
upcycled 1930s glass pylon
insulators. Cut from an
American electrical pylon,
the green glass insulators
were originally designed
to shatter, which created
an obvious challenge when
they were being crafted
into wall lighting. The
cast metal housing, also
original, was added for
wall mounting. The bulbs
can readily be changed.
However, we think a simple
lightbulb, as shown here,
complements the piece
perfectly. Each heavy-
duty wall light weighs 6kg
and will make a striking
addition to any space. This
is a sconce with a difference.

Christopher, “Chip”, Hall has turned an
occasional hobby into a successful sideline.
“I’ve always been a tinkerer,” he reflects, “I
like finding discarded parts and pieces and
trying to think of a new use for them. I enjoy
that challenge” An engineer by day, Chip often
finds nuts, bolts and offcuts that inspire a
project. It’s his engineering background that
makes his lamps so interesting. Faucets fitted
to lamp bases serve as dimmer switches, and
steampunk inspired pipe details aren’t simply
decorative, they connect gears and gauges
that move. “The first lamp I made was simply
for a friend. I pinched a metal sugar pot from
the canteen at work and used it as the shade.”
Just one year later and Chip is taking two
or three commissions at a time. We admire
Chip’s personal approach to each project and
his honest enjoyment of creating a lamp that
“makes somebody smile.” Bespoke table lamp,

ALASTAIR HENDY
Everything in my kitchen was selected based on ergonomics and economics. I chose to use concrete because there’s something very honest about its raw industrial qualities.
A lot of the furniture and accessories were originally used in workshops, factories or schools. The hardwearing nature of these pieces really appeals, particularly in a kitchen.
And of course the natural patina that comes with age adds so much character that you simply don’t find on the high street. Using unfitted furniture makes the space practical
and workable. I like being able to change the set up when I need to. I’m also a great organiser and very pedantic, so filing drawers, even in the kitchen, are essential!
This old artisan’s workbench has been transformed into a
statement kitchen island, complete with sink. The iron vices
are authentic and the wooden worksurface has been thoroughly
cleaned but not restored, ensuring it retains every scratch and

The regeneration of HafenCity is currently Europe’s largest
inner city development project. Among the internationally
renowned architects involved in the redevelopment of
Hamburg’s HafenCity, it is Herzog De Meuron’s project
that is the most widely anticipated. Standing beacon-like at
the entrance to Hamburg’s harbour, Elbphilharmonie is a
landmark of significant civic pride. Due for completion in
2017, even unfinished this remarkable structure is certainly
worth a visit. The sheer scale of the former warehouse and its
colossal iceberg-like rooftop extension immediately impresses.
However long you stay in Hamburg, make time to marvel at this
incredible architectural feat. elbphilharmonie.de

Hamburg is home to the largest
warehouse district in the world.
Built between 1883 and 1928, the
Speicherstadt, meaning “city of
warehouses”, is located in the
port of Hamburg and stretches
for almost a mile along a network
of canals. Neo-Gothic red brick
warehouses tower over the
waterways and humpbacked
bridges, many of them still used
to store goods such as cocoa,
coffee, tea and aromatic spices.
Keen to visit the Speicherstadt,
we took a trip to Hamburg and
found there was much to admire
in Germany’s second city.

Within a short walk of the Elbphilharmonie,
Hamburg’s International Maritime
Museum and the historic warehouses of the
Speicherstadt, 25hours Hotel HafenCity is
an ideal place to drop anchor. The hotel’s
proximity to the harbour inspired much
of its decor and the relaxed seaman’s club
ambience. From the moment guests arrive at
the reception desk, constructed from plywood
packing crates, the modern maritime details
are evident. In the cosy “cabins”, the wallpaper
depicts colourful tales from life at sea and the
minibar and desk are housed within a steamer
trunk, complete with log book. Borrow the
hotel’s bikes to explore the area. Afterwards
enjoy the panoramic views of Hamburg
from the rooftop Hafen sauna, housed in a
decommissioned shipping container. After two
nights on board at 25hours Hotel, we certainly
left feeling ship shape. 25hours-hotels.com
Situated on the appropriately named
Lagerstraße, Altes Mädchen serves over 60
different craft beers from around the world, in
addition to the house Ratsherrn brews. Which
is probably reason enough to visit. But beside
the excellent food and drink, the brewpub’s
atmospheric setting, in a lofty 19th century
animal market, also explains its popularity
with locals and visitors alike. Be sure to arrive
early to secure a coveted seat at the central
bar or sit outside on a sunny evening in the
bustling beer garden. altes-maedchen.com
Hamburg is replete with design shops and
trendy stores. But one of our favourite finds
was The Box. An eclectic destination for
“furniture and other good things”, The Box is
set within a listing building in the redeveloped
19th century Borselhof factory. The striking
industrial space is filled with high-end design
temptations, quirky curiosities and original
vintage furniture. A bookstore, two galleries
and a buzzy little cafe / bar hosting live music
and readings offer further opportunity to stay
a little longer. thebox-hamburg.com
Hamburg’s close proximity
to Scandinavia is particularly
evident in this excellent design
shop. Lys, meaning light,
displays vintage originals and
re-issues from the 1950s and
1960s alongside contemporary
designers, both Nordic and
international. Among our
favourite brands, Gubi, Hay and
Ferm Living’s latest collections
are displayed in a gallery-like
experience. This is certainly a
shop to linger in. We found it
hard to leave. lys-vintage.com
