DESIGN NOTEBOOK

FINE FINISH Amid its antiques and extraordinary objets trouves, the London emporium talisman is now selling a collection of contemporary furniture designed by the owner Ken Bolan. There are nine pieces in the Lacquer collection including sideboards, chests of drawers and bedside table. The shapes are wonderfully simple, but the real beauty lies in the finish-a wavy, slightly cracked-looking, all natural lacquer.
