inspired by the discarded
We think of mirrors as tools for reflecting ourselves. But mirrors are wonderful reflectors of light, making rooms bigger, brighter and more beautiful. Jo has worked with mirrors for many years, and indeed has worked as a eglomise gilder for some of the country's leading glass decorators. There's nothing Jo can't do with a mirrored surface.
Jo's own designs range from the soft romance of draped lace and chiffon to the witty and contemporary Bowie flash mirrors, which, if you line up your own face just right, reincarnate you, just for a minute or two, as Ziggy Stardust. Jo also contributed an art installation, Hypernormalised to the 2017 London Design Festival, which joined the Brixton Design Trail on Brixton's iconic arches, right also from vibrant new space, Pop Brixton.
Jo often breathes new life into old mirrors, working with their flaws and their marks of wear to make signs of age into an integral part of a new, yet sympathetic, look, feel and function.
