This also marks the launch of the One St John’s Wood homeware accessory collection, curated by sustainable homeware brand Kalinko, which celebrates the skill of true artisanal craftmanship – a theme which can be seen throughout the scheme. Complemented by exceptional architecture and residents’ facilities designed by renowned architect Squire & Partners, and views over the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, One St John’s Wood truly embodies the absolute best of luxury London living’.
The first of two Penthouses by Angel O’Donnell
One St John’s Wood exudes an air of refined elegance and boasts an enviable location, deserving an interior that epitomizes quiet yet confident luxury, captivating comfort, and impeccable taste. Angel O’Donnell has masterfully crafted a design scheme that indulges the senses, skillfully balancing sumptuously padded furniture with precisely defined forms. Each room incorporates sculptural elements that subtly pay homage to the diverse architectural styles found in the neighboring Lord’s Cricket Ground, a revered sanctuary of the sport.
Within the penthouse, one’s gaze is constantly drawn to captivating details. The living room showcases iconic pieces like the Marenco sofa and a gracefully pivoting floor lamp. The kitchen features handmade counterball pendant lights and bar stools with elegantly tapering legs. Dusty pale green walls serve as a serene backdrop for a palette of richly pigmented colors, including deep burgundy, juniper green, golden honey, and scorched clay. These hues reverberate throughout the space, gracing large acrylic artworks, burlwood bedside tables, and velvet headboards.
Moreover, meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the penthouse. Bespoke, scorched ash-wood table bases accentuate their undulating, longitudinal grain, while utilitarian Spade Chairs are adorned with lively fabrics boasting geometric patterns. These exquisite finishes and thoughtful pairings are abundant throughout the residence, creating a mesmerizing effect that leaves a lasting impression.
Richard Angel, Co-Founder of Angel O’Donnell, says:
‘One St. John’s Wood is a seriously unique development with uninterrupted views across the world-famous Lord’s Cricket Ground. History, iconic architecture, and nerve-shredding cricket action is literally on your doorstep – and all set within the leafy loveliness of St John’s Wood. Conscious of how landmark these residences are, we left no stone unturned, lavishing this remarkable penthouse apartment with sculptural lighting, handcrafted furniture, opulent textures and eye-catching art. The result is a luxurious home that more than lives up to its gorgeous surroundings.’
True Artisanal Craftsmanship
The Kalinko collection, which has been handmade in Burma and designed for future residents and homeware design enthusiasts alike, will enable individuals to emulate contemporary, sustainable and stylish designs within their own homes. Inspired by the scheme’s unique architecture by Squire & Partners, interior design and proximity to Regent’s Park, Kalinko worked with Regal London to curate a collection that was truly reflective of everything that One St John’s Wood embodies, whilst celebrating true artisanal craftsmanship. Key pieces include a striking cane and wooden handcrafted chair, which has been made from reclaimed teak salvaged from Yangon, through to marble kitchenware which has been hand-carved by a local family in a town called Sagyin, Burmese for “Marble” just north of Mandalay – no two pieces are alike, and each item has its own bespoke markings, showcasing the skilled manual work of a chisel.
Sophie Garnier, Founder of Kalinko, comments:
‘It is such a joy for us to see the work of our artisans within the context of One St. John’s Wood. These beautiful objects have been hand-crafted from local materials in tiny villages in rural Burma. Our makers are amongst the most talented in the world, working with techniques handed down across generations. We are thrilled to be collaborating with One St John’s Wood, and to be able to give these extraordinary products such an elegant platform. We look forward to future residents incorporating these pieces into their beautiful homes’.
