Oona Bannon

Bannon co-founded furniture brand Pinch with husband Russell in 2004, heralding a new wave of contemporary, crafted British design (pinchdesign.com)

Emily is part of the Pimlico Road community, where our shops are based, and her work is motivated by similar factors to ours – the desire to create simple, beautiful, well-made pieces, with an emphasis on materiality. Her work is intricate and passionate, with a strong sense of British craftsmanship. Her wall hangings in particular are pieces to treasure – they add warmth and texture to the home, as well as being stunning in their modernity and graphic strength. I love her use of diagonals within the weave, and the fact she uses nature, but also construction as inspiration – whether that’s a dry stone wall or a piece of engineered metal. Finally, her Instagram offers some therapy – following the cycle of animal, landscape, inspiration, process and beautiful product.

‘EMILY’S WORK IS INTRICATE AND PASSIONATE, WITH A STRONG

SENSE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP’
