Style File: A Collaboration...

We have recently linked up with Truro's inspired, unique interior company, Stylehome.

Mark and his team at Style Home visited the gallery to size up our space and to piece together a collection of furniture with the brief of creating an area where our customers can sit, enjoy a coffee and browse the gallery catalogues. The result is a beautifully selected set of seats around a long wooden table, positioned in the natural light that flows through the windows from our courtyard.

Already used by many to spend time pouring through our Terry Frost and Sandra Blow books or as a comfortable seat as we go through questions to set up an OwnArt agreement, the space has also become a firm favourite for staff meetings - or, as put into action recently, to sit back and take the load off our feet after a busy private view.

One of our recommended local companies, we are looking forward to developing our collaboration with Stylehome by placing artwork in their showroom at Chiverton Cross, Truro.
