The 12 Milestones of 2020

What a year 2020 has been. The value of family, friends and our communities has never been more apparent as we navigated our way through together. In a year where the little achievements became the rather big ones, and priorities changed across the world, here are a few of the highlights from Chelsea Barracks.

The Westminster Glassware - Meet the Maker

Taking cues from Eighteenth Century Georgian design, the Westminster Glassware echoes this dominant period of glass-making. Comprising a red wine glass, white wine glass and tumbler made from hand-blown glass, accentuated with a distinct twist. Designed by Albion Nord. Handcrafted by London Glassworks.

The Wellington Desk - Meet the Maker

The Wellington Desk was the first pieced concieved within the Chelsea Barracks Collection. Inspried by the old military campaign desk, it retains the portability and simplicity of the original design. Hand made from British fumed pippy oak with lions paw feet and bespoke bronze metal details. We headed to West Sussex to meet the maker, Stride & Co.

Films

The Radnor Tableware - Meet the Maker

Albion Nord decided that the Radnor Tableware Collection – which includes dinner plates, side plates, cereal bowls, soup bowls and mugs – should be made from porcelain, since the first English porcelain was produced in Chelsea. As such, the tableware draws on heritage, not only of the Barracks, but of the very area itself.

Stories

The Art of Glass

When Albion Nord asked Stewart Hearn and his London Glassworks team to produce glassware for the two Chelsea Barracks Townhouses, there was a great deal of excitement at the studio. ‘It’s the sort of work we want to make,’ Stewart tells us. ‘Very precise, very high end, beautifully designed and hopefully beautifully made.’

Stories

The Master Carpenter

Rory Stride is a rare sort of artisan. The moment we start talking about furniture making, it is clear that he’s utterly committed to his craft; that he puts both heart and soul into each and every piece he creates.

Stories

The Magic of Porcelain

When Sally Marien speaks about pottery, it’s with the wide-eyed wonder of one who’s feeling the clay between their fingers for the first time. She has an energy, an effervescence, that belies her experience: after potting professionally for four decades, she is without doubt a master of her craft and the only choice for the Chelsea Barracks pottery collection.

Stories

The Beauty of Tradition

Let us take you back 32 years. Love was in the air, hope was on the horizon – the ‘60s were in full swing. Keith Rawkins – a fine art graduate, who had spent several years working alongside ‘The mad silkman’ Zika Ascher – spotted an opportunity. London’s fledgling fashion houses were in need of fabrics. So Keith and his wife Stephanie began designing and hand-printing from their basement flat in Fulham. Before long, they were supplying some of the city’s most celebrated couturiers. Marina Mill was born and is today creating a bespoke series of fabrics unique to Chelsea Barracks.

Films

The Garden Squares

In order to harness the heritage of the local area, Chelsea Barracks is centered around garden squares which have come magnificently to life in these summer months. Five acres of green space that stitch together the site’s past and its future; celebrating London’s rich history while acknowledging its status as an ever-evolving, cosmopolitan city.

Stories

A Decade in The Making

In Chelsea Barracks a team of peerless architects, landscape architects, designers and masterplanners, have come together to deliver an entirely new neighbourhood in London. This extraordinary ensemble of people, in conjunction with Qatari Diar, have reintroduced 12.8 acres of isolated land masterfully into existing Belgravia, erasing the boundary of the barracks and creating a new legacy for London, one that will do justice to the presigious surrounds of this iconic Estate.

Stories

Somewhere to walk. Somewhere to dream.

Chelsea Barracks was always destined to be more than a mere collection of homes; before the first stone was in place, it was eminently clear that all involved were striving to create a vibrant new community . Of course, such a lofty vision came with considerable challenges: assembling a house is one thing, but building a harmonious neighbourhood from scratch demands care and dedication. It called for public spaces as sublime and considered as the residences they enshroud, for gardens that inspire and exhilarate. It needed a landscape architect with the foresight and feeling of Gustafson Porter + Bowman .
