I have just discovered the beautiful work of Glenn Rushbrooke and Samantha Robb, a.k.a. Pacha Design, and oh my, it's everything I love! Inspired by the natural state of decay and the rawness of oak, slate and metal, this Welcombe-based design/make partnership produce a striking range of contemporary furniture and accessories from locally sourced reclaimed & natural resources. Pacha, green and pure, combines pared down aesthetics with the Japanese view of Wabi Sabi, beauty in imperfection. Magnifique!

"We like simple, uncomplicated design. We are not led by trends. Our work is understated, often with an asymmetrical marriage of materials. This simplicity ensures that the materials play a major part in the overall appearance, resulting in the pieces working well in modern minimalist spaces as well as more rustic environments".

Pacha's accessories can be purchased online and they also take commissions. Don't forget to check out their blog as well. I'm saving up for some leaf lanterns, a clock and a mirror... more presents to add to my wish-list!
