May 11, 2010

Self-described architectural classicist Ben Pentreath studied art and architecture at the University of Edinburgh, trained with vernacular architect Charles Morris in Norfolk, and spent four years working in New York City for Fairfax & Sammons (designing houses for clients such as Liv Tyler and Sarah Jessica Parker) before moving back to London to open his eponymous interiors shop in Bloomsbury, where he sells "interesting, well-designed, and beautiful things for your home, sourced from England, France, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, and India." Go to Ben Pentreath to view the wares.
