Oliver Gerrish gives a talk on this most eclectic time in British architecture and interior design. He examines how it came about, the stylistic signatures, and focuses on a number of fascinating examples and architects and designers.

‘We believe it is best to look at interior design as a continuum of what has come before: it is, and has always been, the tension between historical sources  and the ‘new’ that seeks to replace them’.
