What was your goal for this countryside atelier?
The office space needed to feel inspirational, whether that was through interesting furniture pieces or the beautiful surroundings of the Holkham Estate. Natural light was a massive factor in the design of the space – having good light is so important when working with gemstones and metals.

What are your favourite design details?
I really love the exposed brick walls in my meeting room – so much so I am looking to replicate this in our upcoming new store.

Tell us more about your mood boards.
Our mood boards are where the product journey begins. We take inspiration from everywhere – from architecture and art to natural objects and forms, then use these to develop the shapes and structures within our new collections. These don’t change each season, but are pulled together at the inception of a product or collection.

Talk us through the art in your space.
I like a variety of art, from abstract to photography, and am always keen to support local artists. My favourite pieces featured in our Norfolk office are a Harry Cory Wright piece in our cafe and one of Mark Luscombe-Whyte’s amazing photographs in our studio. 

What do you love most about working at Longlands?
Being surrounded by beautiful stretches of space and nature creates a calm and restful atmosphere amidst the craziness of the day. I always encourage the team to take a walk on the estate grounds or pop down to the white, sandy beaches.
