UNIQUE DESIGNS, beautifully made.
Kettle of Fish Designs is a unique type of interiors and gift service with an impressive range of original, desirable products on its virtual shelves. Everything you see here, with the exception of the vintage wares, has been designed and made by me. I work with other UK based makers for my supplies and also offer you the opportunity to collaborate with me to create truly bespoke pieces for your home or for gift giving.
If your tastes are quirky, original, maybe a little unconventional, and you love the thrill of a vintage find, then I’d say you’re in the right place!
With a treasure trove of historical photographs, illustrations, and artwork at my fingertips, I create stunning and unique designs. Through digitally enhancing these vintage images, I breathe new life into them to create a modern juxtaposition of traditional art and contemporary design.
Using masterpieces by renowned artists such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and Van Gogh, I create pieces that re-present these timeless works. By incorporating these artworks into art prints and fabrics, the combination of vintage imagery and modern reproduction methods offers a fresh approach.
Let Kettle of Fish Designs bring a little magic into your home!
I believe that your home should be a reflection of individuality and creativity rather than following trends and imitating others and am constantly exploring innovative ideas to deliver personalised solutions that really stand out. I place a strong emphasis on sustainability, from incorporating recycled and reclaimed materials, to using energy-efficient manufacturing processes and minimising waste, every decision I make aligns with my goal of creating designs that are harmonious with my own lifestyle choices.
I actively work with other artisans to create opportunities for collaboration and try to use suppliers who share my values. Kettle of Fish products are designed with durability and longevity in mind. I take immense pride in creating unique and sustainable work, recognising the importance of not just creating visually appealing products, but also of being as environmentally responsible as possible.
Together, with small steps, we can make a difference.
