Dressing Room

Adding a mirror to any room can immediately alter the feel and mood of the space, so it’s little wonder that interior designers cleverly incorporate them into design schemes, maximising their reflective qualities to bounce light from different angles for a sense of spaciousness. They can make smaller rooms appear larger, and when paired with darker colours and heavy fabrics, they add a dramatic and opulent ambience.

We were hugely excited to catch a glimpse of one of our projects in the recent BBC documentary series, My Life as a Rolling Stone. There (right of the opening shot) in the background of Huntsman, one of Charlie Watts’ favourite Savile Row tailors, stood our AND rolling library ladder.

Having worked on retractable, rolling library ladder projects for interior design studio Covet Noir in the recent past, we were delighted to hear from them again, this time, looking for another ladder and rails in a similar finish.

Some projects can take a while to come to fruition and we are delighted to have completed this one for clients in the US. The brief was very specific: to create a nickel-plated hook-on library ladder and continuous rail for a dressing room, to match the room’s existing stainless steel accents.

Working with a long-standing client and cabinet-maker, we were delighted to collaborate on another project for two bespoke pieces intended for his and hers dressing rooms. The brief was to create a brass hook-on library ladder and rails, with square tube stringers (a more unusual design) and rounded rungs, plus a large round brass mirror frame to tie in with the couple’s existing interior scheme.

Andrew Nebbett Designs has created a good number of bespoke clothing rails for the fashion industry over the years. We were therefore delighted to work on this project for a high end couture brand looking for a mobile and adjustable set of rails for their exclusive and luxurious evening and cocktail dresses, worn by celebrities across the globe.

We were contacted via Instagram by interior design company, Covet Noir, who had a very specific idea for a bespoke rolling library ladder.

During the first lockdown in 2020, we were contacted by a high-end interior designer, whose search for a unique rolling ladder system had brought her to the Andrew Nebbett Designs’ website.

We were recently contacted by a bedroom furniture designer who was looking for a bespoke bedroom ladder solution for his client.

The ladder needed to address a number of factors, from perfectly matching the clients’ existing interior, to having a mechanism that would adjust the height of the ladder according to use – tall enough to reach the storage shelves above the client’s wardrobes, and short enough to be stowed away in a cupboard when not in use.

When we think of the word bronze, we often conjure images of beautiful art works of behemoth proportions, vast Henry Moore, or Barbara Hepworth sculptures. However, in our world of bespoke furniture and storage design, bronze and bronze colour and finish, has many other applications and meanings.
