Clare Dowdy is a London-based freelance design and architecture journalist who has written for titles including Wallpaper*, BBC, Monocle and the Financial Times. She’s the author of ‘Made In London: From Workshops to Factories’ and co-author of ‘Made in Ibiza: A Journey into the Creative Heart of the White Island’.
Nearly four decades after opening his eponymous gallery on London’s Fulham Road, David Gill is moving to the role of chairman, and long-term creative director Francis Sultana takes over the reins as CEO.
But the gallery in St James’s isn’t just about selling. For Valentin Loellmann’s first solo show in April 2025, the designer will create a swimming pool. 'We wanted to show not just what he does in furniture but his concept,' says Sultana. 'You have to allow the designer to dream and grow, everyone will love to come and see the installation. It’s not about number crunching, we never worry about that,' he adds. 'We’re about trying to create a new history and new beauty.
