Summerill & Bishop ♥️ Claridge's

We have been so fortunate over the years to have collaborated with some incredible institutions and individuals, all leaders in their fields and all people that we can genuinely call friends. 

Our  collaborations with the institutions that are La Colombe D'Or, Club 55 and The River Café have represented the coming together of long-time friends. But more than that, they have been projects that have triggered deep rooted memories of places we have shared so many special times with friends, with family and with loved ones. Each one has stories to tell of our lives and each one has stayed true to these memories for as long as we have known them. 

All of our  collaborations must measure up in terms of beauty and magic. We look for rare places where our hearts soar as we cross the threshold... Somewhere that is part of our history, that shares our values of hospitality and that creates a world where love is poured into every little detail, in such easy elegance that you find your joy at every turn. 

The  inimitable and legendary Claridge's, Mayfair's sparkling jewel, is of course, all of these things and more. 

Undeniably beautiful and grand... but behind the glimmering Art Deco metalwork, across the checkerboard marble lobby and past the glow of afternoon tea in The Foyer, it is the people that define it. An entire team, many in situ for the decades we have been visiting, who work so passionately, with warmth and authenticity, to craft special and sentimental moments for all those who pass through the doors. They are the beating heart of hospitality and understand it innately - a testament of true love for their craft. They appreciate what that moment can mean for a family celebrating, friends reminiscing, lovers falling in love again, colleagues continuing a tradition or just for the individual idling a day away. 

So today,  we are beyond excited to reveal a new table linen collection designed in close collaboration with our friends at Claridge's. 

A collection  that is somewhat of a passion project. Where we got to work with a team who believe as enthusiastically as us, in the art of making others feel special and that every meal at the table should be an occasion that creates joyful, spirited moments for all those sat with us. A team of friends who strive to be the best possible hosts, just as much as we do. 

Inspired by Claridge's inimitable Art Deco design, the table linens are an ode to the hotel's iconic checkerboard lobby. Discover the tablecloth and napkin collection in "Black Check" today and stay tuned for the rest of the collection later this week.

With love,

S&B

We were delighted  to celebrate the launch of the collection at Claridge's, in their newly restored ballroom. A magical evening was enjoyed by all... picture flickering candlelight, a monochromatic theme, champagne flowing and time spent at the table with friends. Thank you to the wonderful team at Claridge's for being the warmest hosts.
