Florence Welch’s New House – Vintage Apotheosis
Florence Welch, best known as lead singer for indie band Florence + the Machine, has a very distinct sound that’s often described as mysterious and romantic.
And after getting a glimpse of her home in the May issue of Vogue, it’s obvious that these traits represent her personal style as well. Recently, at the age of 26, she decided it was high time to leave her mother’s South London home and bought a modest Georgian-style cottage nearby, with views of Parliament and the London Eye.

Antipode Chair by David Rickard
The Antipode Chair is a seat for both sides of the world within one place – an object that relates to its current position and also that of the relative antipode some 12,750km ‘down’.The antipode of any place on Earth is the point on the Earth’s surface that is diametrically opposite to it. The everyday action of sitting down is a direct response to the downward force of gravity, although as the chairs’ name suggests, ‘down’ is only ever a relative concept. Spatial relationships and relative positions have been underlying generators within many of David Rickard’s recent works, found across his drawings, sculptures and large-scale installations.
