Lambs Conduit Street is a particularly lovely part of London somewhere any devotee of Interiors could spend effortless hours. Penreath & Hall’s little shop, just off Lambs Conduit street is brimming with eclectic curios. Last week The Interiors Almanac called in to ask Ben & Bridie all about it…
How would you describe Penreath
& Hall and what services do you offer? A small shop in Bloomsbury, and
online shop, crammed with good things for your home.
Do you have a design
ethos?
We think the famous William Morris quote says it all:
"Have nothing in your house
that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful".
How do you select the pieces for
the Rugby Street shop? We simply buy things that we both like and that we would
want to own ourselves. We share a very similar design aesthetic.
Are you both collectors? Yes. Ben
has recently been collecting Mochaware mugs.
What is your most treasured
possession? Bridie: I treasure my possessions equally, they all give
me pleasure in their own particular way
Can you recommend a favourite
Interiors haunt? The Townhouse on Fournier Street, Spitalfields
Psst… If you happen to be in the
area, with the many Interiors shops and clothing emporiums on offer, it’s
really worth stopping by The Persephone Book shop.
