In addition to my search for the perfect sofa (there is now a definitive shortlist of three) I am constantly fantasy shopping for the perfect desk, to go in the fantasy loft … I know, but hey it’s February you do what you can to get through the winter and in my case it’s dream shopping.

Anyway, this vintage French steel desk by Ines Cole is definitely on the list. Cole redesigns vintage furniture and, while many, many people are doing this, she has a real original touch. Look at this sofa for example (yes I had forgotten about this one when I said there was a definitive list).

It’s a great idea isn’t it? In addition to furniture, she also has a great selection of homewares.

I also rather like this Etra dinner set.
