A Place in the Sun

Well, summer is winding down a little over here in the UK, so in a bid to get some winter sun we are upping sticks and going to France!

Fine, this is not the whole picture - there are a whole host of reasons why we're setting up a sculpture garden in France.  There is the opportunity to work with one of the world's top garden designers, the highly decorated James Basson.  He started working on the gardens a decade ago, so to slot our sculpture into this mature and stunning space has been a joy.

The house itself is gorgeous, an old stone farmhouse with various terrace, loggias and enclaves, set in the rolling hills of the cote d'azur.

Collaborating with James and I is Jean-Philippe Weimar, creator of some of the most stunning and unique light fittings I have ever seen.  Handblown glass, brushed copper tubes that make the light appear grown rather than made, everything is create in specific response to each project.

If you would like to learn more, or to visit us sometime, then please feel free to contact us directly via enquiries@marshallmurray.co.uk,

Best,

Oliver - Director
