Bridie Hall, an artist, designer, and manager of Ben Pentreath in London, finds inspiration in objects from the past. Hall, a native of New Zealand, has spent the last four years splitting her time between making art and selling beautiful things for the home. "Mostly, I make objects that are either very hard to get a hold of, or that are from another era," she says. "My line of intaglio boxes and obelisks are inspired by the Grand Tour I never took." Her recently launched collection, called Bridie Hall at Home, is now available at Ben Pentreath.
