00:00We just have to pray to the London traffic gods. Be kind to us.
00:05I feel like London Design Festival is such a pivotal moment for people that are interested in interiors.
00:11It can be quite overwhelming that there are so many things happening.
00:14And you see everything on social media afterwards, don't you?
00:17And then you're like, I wish I went to that.
00:18You can have a plan itinerary, but you never know what you're going to uncover along the way.
00:23So I've actually never been to the Chelsea Design Centre.
00:27You've never been to Chelsea Harbour?
00:29Well, I'm very excited for Chelsea Harbour because I feel like the Design Centre is like a candy store for
00:34anyone who likes design.
00:36There's literally like four stories of all of the showrooms and designers that you could ever want.
00:41If you want candles, handles, if you want rugs, anything, like it's all in one place.
00:47Elegance now is not only about being sophisticated, but it's more about bringing a distinctive point of view to the
00:55conversation when it comes to interiors, especially.
00:58Black leather, there's something very like sleek and sexy about it.
01:01But I do feel like a brown leather is a little bit more like unexpected.
01:06To open a car door and you step in and it's got like a brown leather interior.
01:09It's a little bit of one of those like moments like, oh, this feels like a little bit exciting.
01:15You've been to Monologue before, haven't you?
01:17I have.
01:18It's really exciting.
01:19They just launched a new space in Mayfair.
01:21It brings the glam of Mayfair and the edge of East London together.
01:26It really wants people to step inside of it and make it their home.
01:30It's warm.
01:31It's got lots of bespoke designs by both established and emerging creatives.
01:37London really gives designers the chance to take big risks.
01:41Those resin tables were incredible.
01:43A lot of the marble vases had like straight line zigzags.
01:47I loved that.
01:47And I think that we need that to balance out our space.
01:50Do we think the zigzag is the new curve?
01:53Let's make the zigzag the new curve.
