Flowers for Susie & Ken Eardley: A Mid-Century Love Affair

We are delighted to present the works of Charlotte Simmonds of Flowers for Susie and Ken Eardley, both celebrated for their handcrafted designs that draw inspiration from mid-century aesthetics and nature.

Charlotte Simmonds creates handmade lampshades and textiles in her Dorset studio. Each piece begins as a lino print, evolving into bold patterns on sustainably produced fabrics. Her work reflects a love for mid-century colour and print, aiming to evoke a warm sense of nostalgia in modern homes. A portion of sales from Charlotte’s work supports the Michael House homeless hostel through creative workshops and donations.

Ken Eardley, based in Brighton, crafts distinctive hand-built ceramics adorned with retro patterns reminiscent of Scandinavian folk art. His range includes mugs, jugs, vases, plates, and bowls, all handmade glazed earthenware crafted using press-moulds with hand-cut stencil decoration. Each piece is fired three times, resulting in vibrant, durable ceramics that are both practical and visually striking.
