Champalimaud Design collaborates with Charles Burnand on capsule collection
Alexandra Champalimaud has partnered with London-based design gallery and studio Charles Burnand to create a limited edition capsule collection.
The Charles Burnand x Alexandra Champalimaud collaboration, part of Charles Burnand’s Icons Collection, draws inspiration from the volume and graciousness of North American glaciers. Their grounding presence and understated majesty give way to reimagined ideations around shape and form for a bespoke sofa, coffee table and pendant. Each piece – entirely handcrafted in London – is designed to exist as either independent articulations or together as a synchronistic statement.
“I am thrilled to be collaborating with Charles Burnand on this bespoke collection. There’s both a creative and easy understanding between us that has truly revealed itself in the process of creating these pieces,” says Champalimaud. “The use of materials in the pieces, the tactility and the elevated craftsmanship speak to both our commitment and approach to design. There is also a strong poetic synergy, a grace that reflects in the final form.”
Simon Stewart, founder and Creative Director of Charles Burnand, adds: “We have been working with the Champalimaud Design team for the last year creating exquisite bespoke furniture and lighting pieces for their residential and hospitality clients. This capsule collection has given us the opportunity to explore materiality and form, resulting in these exceptional pieces. Having Alexandra directly involved in the design of this collection marks a hugely significant moment for our collectors.”
