Since finishing my degree at Central Saint Martins, I have spent the last few months working for a luxury interior design company called Spina.
Spina approached me after coming to our degree show and I've had a very packed and exciting few months there so far.
Firstly I've been working on the production and design team, making bespoke lighting, curtain tie backs, footstools and other interior accessories.
Not only that but I've been involved this week in setting up and taking part in a yearly interior trade show called Decorex. Here are a few examples of what I've been making.
This year was Spina's 10th Birthday and in honour of this anniversary Spina set up a charity auction for 'kids first company'. The charity helps underprivileged children in London and to raise money Spina sent 32 plain white tassels to celebrities for them to customise. celebrities such as Nicky Clarke, Eliza Doolittle, Dita Von Teese, Kelly Hoppen and Nina Campbell were among the artists who took part.
I had the privilege to be part of the team to compose and set up the auction space as well as attending the auction.
Finally Spina are doing 11 windows for Harrods christmas display this year. As an intern it is a huge opportunity for me as I have been allocated 2 windows to design, make and manage. This is what I'll be working on in my last month as an intern at Spina. Watch this space for pictures and from the end of October you'll be able to go and see them at Harrods!
