The Loft Archives was established in 2022 by London based stylist Laura Fowle.
Laura’s journey into antique sourcing and interior styling began with her formal design education at Central Saint Martins and Chelsea College of Art. Whilst initially working in Set Design and Art Departments for theatre and TV, it was Laura’s desire to create captivating, lasting spaces which saw her transition into the world of interiors.
Whilst living in Sydney, Laura worked as an Interior Stylist for renowned hospitality group Merivale. After returning to London, Laura embarked upon a more personal project - the meticulous renovation of her own home. Curating it with unique and antique finds from her travels, she was driven by creating an authentic and timeless space, peppered with personality through found objects and artworks. This project acted as an organic spring-board into the launch of her own business.
“I am continually driven by the allure of sourcing unique, authentic, and sometimes delightfully eccentric pieces. I have an eye for detail and am a fearless snooper! My aim is to elevate spaces, weaving the old seamlessly in with the functionality and modernity of the new”
A beautifully made sculptural French side table, in the style of Charles Dudouyt.
Dating to the late 1940’s, this piece features a sculptural geometric stem and a carved wood base.
The table is of the French post-war modernist movement. Exploring rural objects and furniture, this piece is inspired by the traditional French wine press.
Perfectly styled next to an armchair or sofa, the piece has a fantastic warm patina and is in excellent vintage condition. Wear is aligned with its age and use.
Sourced in the UK.
The table measures 69cm tall, the top measures 31cm wide.
