I went to the festival to specifically attend two talks - one by
Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen who run the interior design firm Nicholas Haslam and the other was Martyn Bullard Lawrence.
The first talk was at Paolo Moschino for Nicholas Haslam.
I first remember noting Paolo's work more than a decade ago when he was featured in House and Garden. In the article he mentioned how pine is an underrated wood, eco-friendly, and fashionable when used right.

Via AD Can't find the original image but this is his present London apartment with pine paneling For more pictures of his London home that featured on Archictectural Digest - click here |
I looked at his way of using pine which was panelled in a period London living room and I was convinced. So much so that I used it in a cafe that I used to run.
The talk was held at his showroom in Chelsea Harbour.
