FREYA MARTON PAINTS AND MAKES BEAUTIFUL THINGS – LAMPS, TABLES, MURALS, SHELVING, WARDROBES, DOORS. 

Based in a small studio built from entirely reclaimed and salvaged materials at the foot of her garden in South West London whose surfaces she covered in gentle pattern in response to the natural world outside. 

With an BA in Fine Art, Freya has learnt from some of the best designers and art directors and has worked for Vogue, Dior, Versace, Ganni, Loewe, World of Interiors, Thom Browne and Ffern.  A  multi disciplinary artist her practice encompasses furniture and surface design, film, photography, costume, prop and set design.

LIGHTING

Inspired by vintage lamps of exceptional shape and form, Freya’s collection of hand-painted lamps offer the ultimate combination of form and function.  Rooted in a love of history and the arts, the pieces focus on intricate pattern and unusual and unexpected colour combinations, exploring the shifting relationship of pattern and colour, stretched and  applied over different shapes, surfaces and forms. 

Quietly beautiful, each piece is made from FSC cerified wood, turned by hand to freya’s own designs and reveals an inherent understanding of the importance of time honoured craftsmanship in elevating the everyday to the exceptional.

MURALS

 "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

-William Morris.

Freya enjoys exploring how the application of pattern and colour can transform the everyday or the mundane to the unique and the beautiful. 

Each commission is prized as a fresh opportunity to consider the relationships found within a room: The interplay of pattern and colour, the on-going dialogue between a room’s walls and surfaces and the objects, furniture and furnishings which reside within it and of course the natural world outside.
