Bringing together exceptional makers, antique dealers and contemporary designers, SALON celebrates the craftsmanship and creativity behind beautifully considered interiors. Founded by Alice B Davies and Hannah Harris, the platform offers a carefully curated collection of furniture, antiques, art and decorative pieces, presented through shoppable rooms designed by leading figures in the interiors industry. Sharing a belief in the value of traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful design, Edward Bulmer was invited to create his own room for SALON. Bedroom in Welmish Blew designed by Edward Bulmer for SALON A shared appreciation for craftsmanship For SALON, the collaboration was a natural meeting of minds. “It goes without saying we are both Edward Bulmer fans but for me personally it is his interior design work that has been an important point of reference throughout my career. His work is a beautiful reminder that tradition and innovation are not opposites but partners and that it is more than possible to create spaces that honour the past while embracing new makers and designs.” — Alice B Davies, Co-founder of SALON Bringing together antique dealers, artists and contemporary makers, SALON’s approach reflects Edward’s own belief that the most interesting interiors are created through a combination of history, craftsmanship and individuality. Edward Bulmer's original drawing plan for the room A Georgian bedroom, reimagined For his SALON room, Edward chose to design a Georgian-inspired bedroom, bringing together traditional references and contemporary pieces. Rather than opting for a conventional mahogany bed, he was drawn to the idea of a painted brass bed from The Cornish Bed Company, introducing an unexpected element into the scheme. The room brings together pieces from makers and dealers including Lorfords Antiques, House of Hackney, Delft, The Cornish Bed Company and HOWE London. As Edward explains: “It’s like music—the details that finish a scheme, gilt frames, brass poles, brass fenders, little incidents, they all need to sing together.” The result is a room that celebrates the individuality of each piece while bringing them together into a harmonious whole. Edward sees a shared philosophy among SALON’s makers: “They’re a lot like me, all channelling long design traditions, but tweaking them just enough to feel modern, relevant, fresh, and fun.” Table by Alfred Newell.
