Next Stop St Pancras Renaissance Hotel

Exterior  St Pancras Renaissance Hotel

An architectural masterpiece and described by many as the most romantic building in London

The former Midland Grand Hotel has now re-opened as the St Pancras Renaissance London Hotel

It took a decade of restoration to uncover this Victorian masterpiece, that originally opened in 1873 to accommodate rail travelers through the St. Pancras Rail Station.

St. Pancras Architecture London

Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott - This is no ordinary hotel

The architecture, the decoration, the mixture of classical and contemporary

The Gilbert Scott Bar

It is like no other hotel you have ever entered, or will ever enter

St Pancras Renaissance London Hotel

The story of how it came into existence is just as extraordinary

Gilbert Scott Suite

It is the tale of a true renaissance; of a national treasure that was almost reduced to rubble but that is today, once again the pride of London

ASK JEEVES 
As the saying goes….”Hats off” to The Bowler Hat Pendant Lamp

Designed by British designer Jake Phipps and aptly named “Jeeves & Wooster”
The Bowler Hat Pendant has received a warm welcome as a hacky statement piece
Equally cool hung alone or grouped together - as if waiting for its master to come and pluck it from the air

Classic, British, Cultural Icons reflecting a bygone era of Imperialism, Class Divide & Eccentricity

Do You Want That On The Rocks?
The Matterhorn - a 14,690 foot mountain in the Pennine Alps now becomes part of the transparent glass finished by South Korean studio Tale Co Ltd.
I had to include this, as I love the purist approach and clever technical qualities 

The Matterhorn Glass is unique, clever & the design actually aids in cooling the liquid inside & when filled with Scotch or Bourbon, the glass also shows you more details about the Matterhorn

Evil Illuminati #2

The Skull Chandelier is a hanging light that comes with the special shape of a human skull.                                                                                                                                                                                 

To make such a light, you first need to hang some tiny lightbulbs from the ceiling and then arrange them into the shape of a skull.

Tray Service at Collard Manson (A favourite store of aGENCY)

At Collard Manson we like to think for ourselves. We reference trends but we don’t necessarily follow them. We have pretty uncompromising ideas about fashion and arts which has led to a strong and recognizable identity. This is visible throughout our shops, designs and online. We only stock what we believe in. If we don’t believe in it we don’t buy it.

Urban Nature - for nature-loving city and country dwellers, this line includes butterflies, eagles, birds and bees.
Modern SurRealist - inspired by a love of surrealism, infused with a modern twist, these designs are fun, eccentric and beautiful
