This month our Friday feature is...Louise Crawley at @upcycled_upholstery:

A sustainable homeware and interiors brand aiming to spread love to the planet and colour to our homes! 

Upcycled Upholstery was born out of love for bold and bright colours after Louise studied Upholstery at Shoreditch Design Rooms.

The brand also brings together Louise's love for vintage and second hand pieces with a twist of colour!

You can find the brand at the next @so_last_century Vintage Fair on the 5th June.

Our newest seriesโ€ฆwhere we share the work of one of our Residents ๐Ÿ–Œ

This monthโ€™s Friday Feature is Matt Vadis:

Matt is a visual artist based at Beckenham Place Mansion. After training as an animator at university, he turned to fine art to understand the psychological impact and broader cultural influence of images.

His latest work explores language and if it is still possible to assign sacred meaning to symbols in an age when 'God is dead' and all things subject to interpretation. Drawing from writing systems across the world and using medieval gilding techniques, Matt has developed a style of modern illumination to try and elevate personal messages above the noise of the present day.

See and learn more on Matt's website - www.mattvadis.com - where you can also purchase original artwork and new limited edition gilded prints.
