Just a thought

we thought we would share amidst this crazy, busy time of year! From Axel Vervoordt's book Wabi Inspirations

Serve it up

We're looking forward to...

catching up on some reading time this weekend! There's a big stack of magazines here in the office that are waiting to be enjoyed... The November issue of Country Style featured a lovely client's home; we spotted our grey cabinet in the living room and pewter desk lamp in the bedroom. Styling by Natalie Walton. Beautiful art too...

Here's an idea...

Our Aubrey oak flooring is the perfect base to start creating your ultimate interior but have you thought about using the boards on your walls? Keep furniture simple and let your walls become a feature...

Interior inspiration

Such a fresh, individual interior - we love this dining room and fun background of frames and fresh flowers. A great take on how to use the oak crossback chairs!

Form and function combine for the best design

Enjoy oncoming Summer weather and the great outdoors with the Windsong outdoor seats, just sublime!

Peace this Christmas

Simple and beautiful, providing a totally fresh look for Christmas decorating are our Zen lights. These magical pieces will deliver a lasting impression. Our Zen lighting range has statement pendants, lamps and wall lights in truly stunning designs; real ‘wow’ pieces.

Created with love, every piece glows with charm.  Tiny hand drilled holes and designs come to life when lit up, spreading their striking patterns outwards…. giving atmosphere and authentic difference to a room.

Lights come in a range of sizes and are available in either an oxide (charcoal) or silver finish. We think silver is perfect for the festive season, maintaining a sense of tradition while the design provides an exotic and  contemporary take on classic decoration.
The larger pendants are great as centrepieces and definitely hold their own! Equally a cluster of smaller pendants in a hallway or that special corner of a room will add interest and allure. Hang at varying heights for maximum impact.

Embellish your place with a  Zen light and maybe as the name suggests this Christmas you will find total peace…

What makes Tokens tick?

Sharing our passion for Design, Architecture, Interiors, Lighting, the Arts, Living Spaces and the Great Outdoors. Some questions we regularly ask ourselves:

 Emotion in Architecture & Design
Why is it that we feel emotion when we enter a living or working space?
Why is it that a piece of furniture can look fantastic in a photo, but doesn’t give us a feeling when we see it in the flesh?
Why does that particular piece of art move you and not your neighbour?
Why are architects around the world trying to create living or public spaces that inspire you and move you?
