We are delighted to present the works of Charlotte Simmonds of Flowers for Susie and Ken Eardley, both celebrated for their handcrafted designs that draw inspiration from mid-century aesthetics and nature.
Charlotte Simmonds creates handmade lampshades and textiles in her Dorset studio. Each piece begins as a lino print, evolving into bold patterns on sustainably produced fabrics. Her work reflects a love for mid-century colour and print, aiming to evoke a warm sense of nostalgia in modern homes. A portion of sales from Charlotte's work supports the Michael House homeless hostel through creative workshops and donations.
Ken Eardley, based in Brighton, crafts distinctive hand-built ceramics adorned with retro patterns reminiscent of Scandinavian folk art. His range includes mugs, jugs, vases, plates, and bowls, all handmade glazed earthenware crafted using press-moulds with hand-cut stencil decoration. Each piece is fired three times, resulting in vibrant, durable ceramics that are both practical and visually striking.
