About

Peascod is a creative studio, combining decades of experience in designing and making groundbreaking decorative art pieces found in hotels, yachts and private homes around the world.

Drawing from a shared love of working with tactile materials, we combine cutting edge technology with traditional skills.

Produced exclusively by hand in our Somerset studios, each piece we create is informed by our West Country location; be that the flora and fauna indigenous to these isles, the ancient traces of human activity on the landscape, our rich folkloric tradition, or perhaps simply a colour or texture found furnishing a riverbank.

The unique combination of skills that we bring to each project – from Tobias’ sculptural dexterity to Emma’s experimental research of the traditional verre églomisé process of reverse glass gilding – result in one-off statement pieces for the home, imbued with an understanding of storytelling that surprise and delight. 

Our work explores various aspects of light and form, embracing the playfully illusive alongside hints of darker imagery. We are drawn to the crepuscular atmosphere of the twilight hours, and how the woodland floor is teeming with both life and decay. This is echoed in the objects we produce: the shifting, mercurial nature of the reflectors that Emma specialises in adds atmosphere and depth to Tobias’ asymmetric, sculptural designs.

The result is a very contemporary British rococo style – rooted in nature and infused with a sense of drama that never crosses the line into kitsch theatricality. Vital and captivating, lavish but with a lightness of touch, we embrace the tension between contradictory elements in our designs. Rich in atmospheric detail, capturing the spirit of the landscape through glimpses of natural form and the subtle interplay of light, a special alchemy reveals itself as each piece seems to come to life the more it is explored.
