The Mosaic Collection was inspired by the discovery of a 2,000-year-old mosaic in the garden of my house – a find for which the word 'serendipity' feels slight. The collection, however, is not a simple pastiche of Roman mosaics. Instead the aim is to breathe new life into these ancient symbols of luxury; to make them tangible again, but for our own time rather than as a replica of a time gone by. Pieces are imbued with a sense of the worn, the distressed; combined with the geometry from the mosaic pieces, this gives them a certain poetry and a beautiful structure.
