Product Information

Miller's influence on the Matthew Williamson brand was hugely significant and she became something of a muse for the then fashion designer. Everything has to have a little bit of a worn and torn quality’: the mint green bedroom, with floral bedspread.

The intricate characters of the three specially created tea blends are also reflected in the elaborate artwork. In 2007, Matthew and his team celebrated 10 years of the brand’s existence with an exhibition at the London Design Museum showcasing the highlights of his first decade in the spotlight, and a 10th-anniversary show at London Fashion Week (after having exclusively shown at New York Fashion Week for the preceding five years).

Growing up in Manchester in the 1970s, Matthew’s passion for colour, aesthetics and design was catalysed by his Mother.

Matthew’s first range of bespoke furniture launched in 2016, created in collaboration with Nottingham-based sofa manufacturer Duresta. Not long after the 5-year milestone, Matthew received two successive nominations for Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 1999 and 2000.

Its respect for provenance, authenticity and its unrivalled skill was a huge draw, and resonates with my passion for unique and well-made homewares.Perhaps that’s why, he admits, despite his success, his work has never really been considered… cool. Working with hand-woven rugs, for this reason, is a dream come true for me, especially working with Obeetee – a world leader in the creation of exquisitely hand-crafted rugs. Just two years after graduating, Matthew founded a partnership company with Joseph Velosa in September 1996. Having pivoted in recent years from the world of fashion to interiors, Matthew says: “Putting an outfit or a room together that brings a smile to your face and the faces of others is the objective in any project I undertake.
