Have a great weekend,

The Very Best Of Wow!house 2025

The Adam Architecture Façade By Darren Price

Darren Price, design director of Adam Architecture, has crafted an exquisite entrance to Wow!house this year: an intricate façade reminiscent of a grand Georgian townhouse. Expect symmetrical arched arcades, handmade cornices, and even a bespoke front door. Stretching to a breathtaking height of 6.5 metres, it’s the perfect way to preface all of the delightful design inside.

The Cox London Entrance Hall

From the Georgian grandeur of the façade, visitors are swept into a hall designed to fit right inside an elegant French chateau. Sculptural pieces by Cox London – including a bespoke Lion Leg table and a showstopping Oak Leaf chandelier – stand proudly among treasures like an 18th-century Norwegian table, an embroidered French quilt, and even a floating staircase. The floor mosaic by the Hackney Mosaic Project, an addiction and mental health charity, is a particularly wonderful feature.

The Samuel Heath Bathroom By Laura Hammett

This lavish space is an ode to Art Deco – with 2025 marking the centenary of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. Here, you can expect bold geometric shapes, jewel tones, and a treasure trove of hardware by Samuel Heath; of particular note is a brand new vintage bronze tap, as well as the fittings which sit proudly atop the veined marble roll-top bath and calacatta marble-clad vanity unit. The final flourish? A handblown glass light pendant by Laura Hammett Living.

The Curator’s Room By Brigitta Spinocchia Freund

Spanning two spectacular rooms, the Curator’s Room is a collaboration with over 100 female artists and designers. From furniture and art to architectural features, every aspect has been produced by female artisans, creating a striking cross-generational tribute to women-led design.

Curated by Brigitta Spinocchia Freund, the installation showcases both rare and contemporary pieces including folding chairs by Gabriella Crespi; a chandelier by Drift Studio; rugs by STARK; ceiling design in collaboration with Roksanda; and a Studio Sofa from Spinocchia Freund’s private collection, reimagined exclusively for the space.

Wow!house is running at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour until 3 July 2025. Check out our full recap here, and find out more at dcch.co.uk
