I was delighted to be asked to contribute to an exhibition which opens on the 13th December at the Museum of Childhood.

Set with a brief to design a miniature fantastical room, I set about thinking how London could be brought to life for kids. How about swinging in Big Ben, doing your homework in the Houses of Parliament or sleeping in the London Eye?

The exhibition reveals the fascinating stories behind some of the UK’s best loved dolls’ houses, taking you on a journey through the history of the home, everyday lives and changing family relationships. My room features in the Dream House section of the exhibition, an installation of 19 miniature rooms by different designers.

On my many trips to Tate Modern (most recently to see the wonderful Matisse exhibition), more often than not I walk across Millennium Bridge. When leaving the Tate the view of St Paul’s always blows me away, with one of my favourite places, the Barbican, just beside it. I thought it about time I created a piece specifically devoted to St Paul’s, although it has featured before as part of my larger skylines.St-Pauls
