One of the more left-field projects we’ve been working on this year is Archive Coffee
 
It began while researching the European coffee house tradition and the blends they once served, coffee made from beans arriving from Brazil, India, Java, Ethiopia and beyond. We’ve been looking at these traditional recipes and used them as the starting point for a small collection of blends adapted for the way we enjoy coffee today.
 
The online shop also brings together brewing equipment we use and recommend, alongside the first pieces from a developing collection for the breakfast table and larder.

Blend No.1 – This is a rich and smooth blend comprising three different origins from India, Brazil and Sumatra, each origin roasted separately and then mixed by hand. It has a deep, settled taste and an underlying quiet sweetness. Excellent for all methods of preparation and all types of milk. We like a stronger pour over or filter and use 30g coffee to 300g water for one large morning cup, if you’re not measuring make as you like and enjoy!

Studio Espresso – Blended to be thick and dark in the cup, with a firm, almost savoury backbone, it is concentrated and precise. Comprising beans from Brazil, Indonesia and India, each origin separately roasted then blended by hand. Primarily for espresso or moka pot, but when medium ground, also works in a cafetière. Prepare as usual for your favourite method. Works very well with milk based drinks.

True Espresso – A classic espresso blend of coffees from South America, Ethiopia and Southern India Inspired by original Italian recipes from the 1950s. It is bold with a balanced bitterness, and is our go to everyday espresso blend. As with all our blends it works well with all types of milk. Prepare as you would normally do.

Trieste – A dark roasted coffee blended to be smooth and generous, with beans from Brazil, India and East Africa. This is a stronger filter blend based on Italian coffee blend recipes from the 1960s it is distinctive and versatile. Good for all methods of preparation and good with all milks. We like a stronger pour over or filter machine cup and use 30g c

Our Waver Rug collection for VANDERHURD started as a conversation with Christine Van Der Hurd about stripping a carpet design back to a border and a simple colourway. Eight colours, chosen to be bold, directional and practical. Two qualities, wool and jute, for a choice of texture.

La Belle Epoque is one of my favourite periods in history, the literature, art, furniture and music have been a constant inspiration since I was small. The wild decadence of the upper classes contrasted with the incredibly harsh lives of the others all brutally cut short by the the start if the Great War is a horribly fascinating moment. I had a postcard of this painting ‘After the Ball’ by Ramon Casas in the postcard art gallery I kept at home growing up, the colours, the green sofa, the yellow notebook, the glossy dark dress are a mini essay in scheming.

The kitchen from a recent project in The Trellick Tower, a landmark 1960s building off London’s Portobello Road. We wanted to keep things as neat and original feeling as possible. We supplied a stainless steel catering kitchen with a ceramic surface from pyrolaveuk, and the ceiling lights are from Palefire Studio, who we love. The ceiling heights weren’t great, so we glossed the ceilings throughout the apartment, which was a lot of work but very successful.

Our Brown Paper Stripe wallpaper comes in twelve colours including the plain brown paper ground which originally inspired the idea. The proportions of the stripe were derived from 19th century French stripes and we mixed and painted the original colours here in the studio. People love this stripe because of its impact and versatility.
