Their Chelsea house (also decorated by David Mlinaric) as it appeared in The World of Interiors, 1988.
The house was in fact only twelve feet wide and arranged over three floors benefiting from a courtyard almost as large as the house itself. In the courtyard were two mulberry trees planted by James I in order to encourage silk weaving in England.
