At a time when most everything can be recycled, upscale furniture is no exception, on the condition it is done with talent, good taste and professionalism. And this is quite obvious when it becomes a signature and a sign of recognition, such as the London-based Jimmie Martin House, a brand that mainly concentrates its activity on hand-painted furniture for unique pieces —to be specially ordered.

This is a good way for the famous clients of Jimmie Karlsson and Martin Nihlmar, such as Madonna and members of the British Royal family, to differentiate themselves from run-of-the-mill decors and showcase unusual objects in their deluxe interiors. In order to appeal to their clientele, the 2 designers have concentrated, since 2004, on reinventing recycled vintage pieces—customized with an elaborate sense of amusement.

The power of unbridled imagination 

With this original idea, personalized decoration takes on all its meaning for private homes, as well as showrooms and concept stores. Tables, consoles, armchairs, cushions, closets, fabrics and lamps convey coherence by becoming sophisticated works, combined with an appealing and sexy design. Filled with spirit, these creations highlight English eccentricity— naturally par for the course.
