Shopper's Diary: Another Country in Marylebone, London - Remodelista
Photographs courtesy of Another Country. Over the last five years, we’ve watched Another Country evolve from a three-legged stool to a full furniture and housewares collection, and, now, a Marylebone, London shopfront. Founded by Paul de Zwart, whose list of design credentials includes collaborations with Tyler Brí»lé (de Zwart was the cofounder of Wallpaper magazine), Ilse Crawford, and Alasdhair Willis, Another Country designs strike a chord with those looking for well-made modern classics–the venture started when de Zwart went on... ...a quest for the archetypal stool and ended up deciding to make his own. One piece led to the next, and a mission to create archetypal designs that “call on the familiar and unpretentious forms of British Country kitchen style, Shaker, traditional Scandinavian, and Japanese woodwork for inspiration.” A selection of Another Country’s simple and functional wares in a neo-cottage setting. The three-legged Stool One, the first piece in the Another Country collection, stands next to the larger Kid’s Stool One, along the wall; £185 and £165. Another Country’s wooden designs are made from certified solid woods in the UK and Europe. Another Country furniture is designed to work in any room. The Another Desktop Series is a handsome way to organize office detritus; £95 for a set. Another Chair in red works as a dining chair or an office meeting chair; £485. Simple but strong materials, such as black hexagonal floor tiles, white subway tiles, and a wood ceiling, work well with the Another Country aesthetic. Another Country is on 18 Crawford Street, Marylebone, London. Below: Location of Another Country in Marylebone, London:
