OCTOBER 2026 | THE COLLECTIVE SPRIT
Dear friends,
Life at Albion Nord is full of exciting projects, wonderful people and inspiring discoveries, but in the whirlwind of studio life, we rarely get the chance to share the magic behind the scenes. So we thought it was time to let you into our world a little more.
For me, one of the greatest joys of design is working alongside extraordinary people. From makers and craftspeople, to our wonderful clients and the talented designers within our team. I truly believe the rooms we create carry the energy of everyone who has contributed to them, from centuries past to the present day. Behind every beautiful space is a village of people, each bringing their own skill, story and spirit.
And there is no better example of this than the Turnell & Gigon Group Drawing Room by Albion Nord at WOW!house, brought to life by Barr Build and an extraordinary collective of makers, artists and designers. And that same spirit is alive within our studio too. We’re delighted to formally introduce Hero Dalrymple and Rebecca Floyd as our new Creative Directors. Anthony, Ben, Ottalie and I couldn’t be happier to be working alongside them for this exciting new chapter. We can’t wait to share more of the journey with you and hope that this little glimpse into our world brings a little joy and inspiration into yours too.
With Love,

Albion Nord Co Founder
A Story of Collaboration and Craft
Earlier this year, we were delighted to collaborate with Turnell & Gigon Group on The Drawing Room for WOW!house 2026. The room was carefully bought to life by Barr Build and beautifully represents our shared appreciation of craftsmanship and quality, rooted in history but with a fresh perspective.
Inspired by the proportions of Georgian architecture, we created an octagonal Drawing Room. Somewhere to retreat, converse and settle into good company. Hand blocked linen from Filling Spaces wraps the walls and is enhanced through bespoke passementerie details. The room brings together pieces old and new as well as colour, texture, pattern and craftsmanship. Working on this project was a true collaboration and a total joy.

Worth A Visit
The Decorative Fair in Battersea happens four times a year and is well worth the visit! It’s where some of the best antiques dealers (and their dogs) come together. We always leave having found something spectacular and the dogs love it too!
