A while back we posted on English design duo Clarke & Reilly, founded by husband/wife team Bridget Dwyer and David Grocott (see Design Visit: Clarke & Reilly at Blackman Cruz), who describe their style as "unashamedly romantic and tirelessly imaginative." In addition to designing (or "dressing") glamorous yet subtly disheveled interiors, the couple also offers reimagined one-off furniture pieces, which Anthropologie has just started carrying. Working with artisans, the pair layers antique and vintage textiles in their designs, using fabrics like vintage linen dyed with crushed walnut shells.
