“My favourite shop in the whole world - I have a collection of things dotted around my house that will be treasured for a lifetime.”
Kettle of Fish Designs creates unique designs for interiors, using an extensive library of historical photographs, illustrations and artwork. Through digital enhancement, modification and the use of unexpected materials I breathe new life into the images to create a juxtaposition of art and design, perfect for eclectic homes. I create pieces that re-present vintage book illustrations and paintings by renowned artists such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and Van Gogh, incorporating them into art prints, fabrics and home decor that can be unique to you.
A key part of my ethos is sustainability and the materials I use are reclaimed, repurposed or recycled wherever possible.
Let Kettle of Fish Designs bring a little magic into your home!
Find unique homewares.
Send gifts straight to your friends and family.
Choose a gift boxed option and I can even write a personalised notecard.
If your tastes are quirky, original, maybe a little unconventional, and you love the thrill of a vintage find, then I’d say you’re in the right place!
