Flora Soames set up her design business in 2009 and launched a range of fabrics and wallpapers a decade later. One of House & Garden’s Top 100, her discerning eye and instinct for channeling both old and new has been formed through a lifetime love of collecting.
Flora's first book "The One Day Box" is part scrapbook, part story about her love of home and where her slightly out-of-control collecting habit has led her over the years. It includes the people and places that have shaped her: her parents’ and their home in Norfolk where she grew up; her grandmothers and their homes and eclectic approach to decorating; the houses she has lived in in Dorset; and the homes of some of her clients.
With stunning photography by leading British photographers including Simon Upton and Bill Batten, it is also the story of her fabric and wallpaper collection - of the inspiration behind it, and how it continues to evolve. A deeply personal account, it explores the desire many of us share to collect things that mean something to us, and the deeply soulful and anchoring process of arranging and living with those things to make us feel at home at different stages in our lives. At its heart, this book is a celebration of the human experience that lies therein.
We have a small number if tickets available for this event.
