John Jones is delighted to have been working in collaboration with interior designer Katrin Cargill and artist Clare Ormerod to produce a feature for the June 2010 edition of Homes and Gardens.

Clare’s six unique works are presented in tulip wood frames, finished with cream coloured gesso sides and a burnished and warm, gold leaf face. The frames were shot on a dark aqua blue wall and hung over an Ostrich leather console table created by Edelman Leather, both of which are featured in our installation.
