INDESIGN CELEBRATES CHARLES WILSON, OUR 49TH LUMINARY

In a lovely start to the year, we joined with Luxmy to celebrate designer Charles Wilson’s Luminary accolade in Indesign magazine issue 55.

February 27th, 2014

Supported by King Furniture and Woodmark, the celebration was held in the Dale Jones-Evans project in Surrey House, which was filled with Charles Wilson’s designs – from his classic Boulder lounge to his newer pieces for King Furniture. The crowd was a charming mix of architects, design industry, local government and art world, with the venue’s close associations to Roslyn Oxley Gallery. Delicious Vietnamese fare was provided by Miss Chu, and with a packed courtyard and a lovely summer evening, our Luminary party went well into the night. Congratulations Charles Wilson.
