Marble is one of interior designer’s most timeless materials and now global provider of luxury homewares, Arteriors, has released a collection heroing the majestic material but with an innovative twist.
Each piece in the new collection is formed from concrete, with the marble facade created by a process called hydrographics; a method of applying designs to surfaces by carefully dipping the piece into a tank with a 3D printed hydrographic film which transfers onto the item.
Not only does this create a marble-look that weighs nearly half as much as the average marble item, but the technique also saves mining the precious stone and reduces our ecological footprint.* As each piece is hand-finished using hydrodipping, they will all have their own unique veining and colour variations.
Offering a sophisticated softness and delicate veining detail, this finish is one of the most favoured ways of injecting Italian Greco styling into interiors. The SS24 marble collection consists of furniture pieces, including coffee tables, dining tables and consoles, available in Jade, Sahara, Black, Verde colourways. These dramatic pieces can be presented in a contemporary manner when paired with more textural materials including bouclé and warm, grained wood. The Ausutine console table would work beautifully in playful, neoclassical bathroom settings whereas the Zahara Drink Table offers a subtle nod to trend.
With the collection of marble-finished designs successfully showcased to press and interior designers both residential and commercial at Paris Deco Off and London Design Week, Arteriors is looking forward to its last few months showcasing these marble pieces before the arrival of AW24 in August’s showroom reset.
*Average weight of marble furniture is 40-100kg, Arteriors collection weight between 17kg-73kg. See source here.

When Sarah Griffin and her husband Steve moved into their converted barn in Hampshire 15 years ago, the property came with a kitchen that wasn’t quite right. It was all-white with a disjointed look, yet the couple knew they would have to live with it for a few years as it was brand new, so they bided their time and waited.
The six-bedroom, five-bathroom home has two wings either side of a central atrium with glass windows from the ground up. The couple have four daughters, one of whom still lives at home as the others have all grown up and moved away, and it was only once the existing appliances, which included a range cooker, started slowing down that Sarah and Steve knew the time had come to change.
“I spent a couple of years researching what I wanted,” says Sarah. “I looked at different bespoke kitchen companies, but they were never quite right. I needed something fully custom made for the high ceilings and wanted furniture that was maybe locally made, too.” It was only after searching online that Sarah came across Higham Furniture, with its showroom in Fulham, London. “I loved their handleless Shaker look, as it’s very refined, clean lined and with the right combination of traditional and modern to suit this house.” Sarah then realised that the Higham Furniture workshop was in Denmead, only 15 miles from her house, which sealed the deal.
“I was able to visit the workshop,” explains Sarah, “and I was blown away. Tim Higham showed me their process and what makes them so different is that they manufacture the kitchens on site and then build and assemble them there too, in order to make sure every detail is perfect before installation. Even the appliances are fitted in this pre-build process.” This stress and hassle-free approach was exactly what Sarah and Steve were looking for.
Once she had selected the cabinetry, it was time to pick the appliances. Sarah and Steve have always had Miele for their laundry appliances so when it came to choosing their cooking kit, they knew it had to be Miele. “We went to the Miele Experience Centre in Abingdon, Oxfordshire,” says Sarah, “which was absolutely brilliant. First because it was a real treat to be cooked for by a chef and second because we were shown all the different styles of cooking and the appliances available. It really helped to refine what I wanted. We walked round with a piece of paper and chose everything on that day. I knew I wanted a steam oven but I also wanted it to be a fan oven when needed, so I chose the Miele DGC 7440 XL steam combination oven with the Miele H 7464 BP pyrolytic oven. I never knew that a warming drawer could double as a slow cooker, so that was really interesting to learn and we selected the Miele ESW 6214 gourmet warming drawer. By the end of the day we had a list with all the model numbers and the finishes of the appliances we wanted.”
In the old kitchen, the range cooker was against the back wall so in the new design, Sarah wanted the space to look more like a reception room that happened to be a kitchen. The island was to be the star of the show with Miele’s ovens, warming drawer and KM 7575 FR induction hob with PowerFlex cooking areas for maximum power output.
“The Miele appliances are fantastic,” says Sarah. “They come to temperature so quickly, which I really appreciate as my old range cooker was getting slower and slower. It makes a huge difference. Also, I’d never used an induction hob before and I love it. I love how quick and responsive it is. I can also keep it completely clean if anything does boil over. I cook a roast every Sunday and now, with the new appliances and my boiling water tap, the prep only takes 30 minutes whereas before it used to take hours. It’s also been lovely to see my daughters become more confident with cooking and enjoying it more when they come to visit.”
Having their day out at the Miele Experience Centre really helped Sarah hone in on her appliance choices. “A couple of friends have induction hobs but they were a bit of a mystery to me. Seeing it demonstrated by the chef at Miele made all the difference. It was a lovely way to spend the day with plenty of time to look around.”
The kitchen flows seamlessly into a utility room, which is furnished with cabinetry painted in the same colour palette and finished with a stacked Miele WKB 120 freestanding washing machine and TWH 620 WP tumble dryer, which the couple already owned. “In the last 20 years we’ve only had a few models as they really do last. The Miele appliances are such good value for money and even if they do need servicing, that can be done rather than having to buy new. This space isn’t an embarrassment anymore; it’s a lovely area to work in.”
The overall colour scheme for the kitchen and utility brings a sense of the outside, in. “It helps to connect with the garden,” adds Sarah. “Our windows and central atrium are all in oak and I wanted elements of oak but not completely throughout. The colours reflect the décor in the rest of the house – greys, blues and greens – and as soon as I saw the handleless Shaker design I was so clear that I wanted something that didn’t look like a purely functional kitchen.” The palette features a combination of Little Greene’s Slaked Lime Deep, Pompeian Ash. “Alexander the designer at Higham knew exactly what I wanted. We had our design appointment in London, during which we chose 95% of what we wanted because he absolutely understood what we were saying. It was all a really lovely process from start to finish.”

Fittings manufacturer Dornbracht is adding new flush plates, which are compatible with selected Geberit cisterns, to its comprehensive range of accessories. When developing its products, the Iserlohn-based company has always valued holistically coordinated designs. Therefore the new flush plates harmonise with the existing series of fittings in terms of form, material, and finish.
The flush plates will be available in all Dornbracht finishes from July. As well as the classic Chrome variant, there is also a choice between Brushed Dark Platinum, Matte Black, or Durabrass (23kt Gold) finishes, for example.
The 169 x 246mm cover plates are 12mm deep, and available with round or square push-buttons. These match the form and size of the fitting rosettes on the washstand, the bath, and in the shower, to create a harmonious picture throughout the bathroom.
Dornbracht can customise the new accessories if desired, including different textures, colours, and materials. The new flush plates are compatible with all cisterns in the Geberit Sigma series from 2001 onwards and can therefore be used worldwide.

At the halfway mark of 2024, it’s the perfect time to showcase some of the standout Ledbury Studio kitchen projects completed in the first six months of the year. The team has successfully completed stunning kitchens in Kensington, St John’s Wood and Hampstead, ranging from a basement setup to the top floor of a seven-storey townhouse. Despite their varied styles, these kitchens share Ledbury Studio’s hallmark features: the exquisite use of wood grain and metallics, creating unique and striking finishes in each space.
“I’m constantly interested in moving ahead to the next idea and trying out a new technique - pushing the boundaries of what materials can do and the effects we can achieve,” says Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio. “I’m obviously enormously proud of the beautiful kitchens the team has created and completed so far this year, but my mind is always sometime in the future, planning our next several projects!”. For the moment, though, here are some of the highlights of the three most recent.
This elegant Edwardian home needed a kitchen to match its classic lines, for which the Ledbury Shaker kitchen was the perfect fit. This modern interpretation of Charlie's original painted kitchens from the 1980s features beautifully crafted furniture, updated cornicing and bespoke aged-brass handles. It blends seamlessly with the house's age while maintaining a contemporary style. Painted in a muted colour pale^e of soft white, it incorporates luxurious materials such as Arabescato marble worktops, splashback and a specially designed integrated double sink. The cooker hood above the Wolf range cooker is finished with textured Marmorino Venetian Plaster for added visual appeal.
Charlie designed this kitchen to maximise the morning sunlight streaming through the windows. The light accentuates the classic light oak cupboards, which were sanded back to reveal the grain and then coated with a pale pigmented wash. To maintain a contemporary aesthetic, the base cabinets are handleless, while the wall cupboards feature on-trend ribbed glass. Additionally, the wall cupboards are adorned with patinated brass handles, matching the brass surrounds and kickplate on the base cabinets.
A notable feature is the sink, crafted from hardwearing Diamond quartzite. Not only does it have a stunning appearance, but it also catches the morning sunlight. The worktops are made from the same material, edged in patinated brass and underlit. This, together with LED lighting above and below the cupboards, adds real wow factor after nightfall.
The owner of the Kensington kitchen sought a design that seamlessly blended her Australian Scandi aesthetic, characterised by the cool simplicity of Scandinavian style and the warmth of her native Australia. To achieve this, Charlie selected oak for the cabinetry, book-matching it on the drawers of the hob run and island, while painting the full-height cupboards white. Additionally, Charlie incorporated fluted oak panels on the outside of the island and around the base of the breakfast bar. A Statuario marble worktop cascades down the end of the island in a stunning waterfall effect, adding a touch of elegance to the design.
All the hand-crafted handles are made of patinated brass, matching the kickplates, furniture surrounds, and the sculptural brass hanging structure above the island. This sculptural piece not only serves as an eye-catching focal point but also provides task lighting and additional storage.
About Ledbury Studio
Charlie Smallbone needs little introduction. The founder of iconic brand Smallbone of Devizes, he has been pushing the boundaries of kitchen design for over 40 years. Charlie’s latest venture, Ledbury Studio, was born of his desire to harness the beauty of original materials whilst creating practical kitchens that exude style and elegance.
While trends in bathroom design may not change as rapidly as fashion, bathroom manufacturers are still tasked with staying ahead of the curve. With this in mind, Roca presents its take on the freshest inspirations, colours, and looks for bathrooms. This is partly in response to the trends set at this year's Salone del Mobile in Milan. Moreover, it serves as a summary of how Roca plans to incorporate these ideas in the upcoming year and beyond, especially within its new Tura collection.
The essence of the Mediterranean is making waves in bathroom design, infusing a fresh, timeless elegance into these formerly purely utilitarian spaces. This trend captures the region's vibrant culture, rich history and stunning natural beauty, transforming everyday areas into luxurious sanctuaries of relaxation and style. This transformation is achieved, in part, through the use of natural materials that not only provide durability but also add warmth and texture, creating a welcoming environment. Mediterranean-inspired colours also play a crucial role, with shades of blue, white and terracotta reminiscent of the sparkling Mediterranean sea and its sun kissed landscapes.
Mediterranean-inspired bathrooms often feature large windows, skylights and lush house plants. This design approach blurs the line between indoors and outdoors, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and openness. This ambiance directly influenced the design of the Tura collection, which draws inspiration from how Mediterranean light filters through the shutters that shade Spanish windows. As an homage to this, wooden slatted shelves were included in the Tura furniture.
Renowned for its warm, earthy tones, terracotta is a prominent trend in modern bathroom design, offering a perfect blend of aesthetic appeal, practicality and comfort. One of the greatest strengths of terracotta is its versatility. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of colours and materials, including whites, greys, greens and natural woods, allowing homeowners to create a harmonious and cohesive look. Its warmth also helps to create an inviting and relaxing retreat - and with this in mind, Roca introduced Light Terracotta as a signature colour for the Tura bathroom furniture.
This year's bathroom design trends are embracing soft lines and rounded shapes, marking a shift towards more organic, fluid aesthetics that promote relaxation anc harmony. Elements such as oval mirrors and circular basins are integral to this trend, as they reduce the harshness often associated with modern, angular designs. The freestanding bath in the Tura collection is a good example, as its softly curved shape creates a generous and comfortable interior.
Incorporating curves can also create the illusion of more space. Unlike sharp angles that result in visual barriers, curved lines guide the eye smoothly around the room, enhancing the perception of space, which is particularly beneficial in smaller bathrooms. Furthermore, the biophilic design trend, which seeks to connect interior spaces with the natural environment, also drives the popularity of curves. Nature rarely features straight lines, and by incorporating organic shapes, designers create spaces that feel more natural and inviting.
In a world where stress is omnipresent, neutral colours help create a spa-like, tranquil atmosphere in the bathroom. Shades such as soft whites, warm greys and gentle beiges promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. In addition to Light Terracotta, the Tura furniture is available in calming shades of Off-White and Light Noble Grey.
Neutral colours also provide a versatile backdrop in the bathroom, enabling homeowners to update accessories and fixtures without affecting the overall colour scheme. This adaptability is especially appealing to those who frequently refresh their decor. The Tura collection accessories exemplify this trend, as their neutral colours derive from their natural composition - recycled felt storage boxes and recycled cork lids, which also function as basin shelves.
Roca's Tura collection is available now and comprises a Stonex® freestanding bath; ceramic basins, WCs and bidets, available in Gloss White, Supraglaze® White and Matt White finishes; and furniture in Off-White, Light Noble Grey and Light Terracotta.

The Myers Touch is delighted to announce that eggersmann’s masterpiece kitchen island launch SKYWALK’®, officially launched at Milan’s international EuroCucina 2024 Fair, is now available at their Winchester kitchen design studio.
Driven by a passion for bringing extraordinary concepts and materials into the kitchen, eggersmann constantly creates special detailed solutions. The design of the SKYWALK’® island reflects their architectural approach to kitchen design, as it defies gravity with its unexpected, cantilevered structure and angled LED under-lighting. Made entirely of solid natural stone, the SKYWALK® island showcases luxury materials such as burnished or bronzed brass, granite, and Taj Mahal leather quartzite which are meticulously cut by their skilled craftsmen and set onto the stone in hexagonal-shaped pieces to create a striking visual statement in any modern home.
The island’s design has a cantilevered design structure which appears to be floating in the air with a discreet glimpse of the structure’s natural stone set between the two island elements. The SKYWALK® design achieves this floating effect through a cantilevered structure with a central support that provides both stability and space for essential installations such as an integrated hob, sink and tap.
In addition to the SKYWALK® island is the SKYWALK® wall cabinetry also available in a range of superior finishes. This innovative design has options to include hidden pocket-door storage, integrated appliances and eggersmann's recently launched Depot sliding door system which allows the user to hide the sink area when not in use to enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space.
The Myers Touch partnership with eggersmann answers their client's desire for a premium German kitchen brand that offers innovative design, luxury material finishes and premium craftsmanship, enabling their expert design team to incorporate texture, personality, and individuality into their high-end residential kitchen projects for homeowners and architects. Eggersmann’s range of superior-quality cabinetry can be matched to designs available in a range of materials such as marble, textures, grain and gloss finishes, to create kitchens that are perfect in the balance of form and function.
Eggersmann also offers flowing transitions from kitchen architecture to living concepts such as room dividers, shelving systems and units so their design team can create the most sophisticated, luxury interior schemes.
The Myers Touch is eggersmann’s UK retailer in the Southwest region. The studio’s first Eggersmann display within the showroom features a large, contemporary central island with a cantilevered-style concrete finish worktop. Complementing the concrete finish are Twill veneered mitre-edge door fronts that are adjacent to a bank of light oak Eggersmann cabinetry with integrated, fully functioning Gaggenau appliances. A second eggersmann display is due to be installed in the Winter of 2024.
