Jessica has designed the new space to be peaceful, warm and welcoming, featuring bespoke textiles, a mix of Edwardian-era and bespoke display cases, and Polynesian ‘tapa’ cloths. The townhouse’s renowned art collection takes the form of vintage black and white photography and evocative, romantic works. Engagement rings, wedding bands, wedding day jewellery, gifting ideas and beyond sit alongside the art in beautifully designed plinths.
The jewellery in the space is housed in beautiful bespoke showcases, designed by Jessica. An Edwardian Museum display case has been transformed into our ‘Button Back Bar’ housing our signature button back rings and wedding bands. Minimal plinths crafted from striking cement and totem like turned-wood showcase the unique selection of engagement rings, wedding bands and wedding jewellery.
Like the rest of the Townhouse the bridal space is home to an incredible selection of artwork, predominately in the form of black and white photography - from Sally Mann to Erwin Blumenfeld and Francesca Woodman – chosen for its synergy with romance and love. Alongside these works hangs a Polynesian Tapa cloth – the shapes from which inspire the motifs seen on a sheer blind that drapes the back window.
A contemporary mirror installation by Dutch-Kiwi designer Sabine Marcelis stands in the space. Depending on the light, the one-way mirror both reflects as a normal mirror does, but also appears slightly transparent, providing a sensory experience for those that stand in front of it. A rug by Sussy Cazalet lines the floor of the space, in a design bespoke for Jessica McCormack. Woven in wool and silk, the rug’s colour palette – pale green with a pop of blue – beautifully reflects nature at its calmest.
