Quarter 30

As the UK’s leading independent supplier of architectural ceramics, we take design seriously. We hope that our new branding expresses to you, our reader, our passion and commitment to excellence in design, and that you will come and visit us in our new showroom. 

Quarter 30 features exciting projects from Associated Architects, JMDA, Louis de Soissons, and A Small Studio. We visit London, Birmingham, Helsinki, and a supercar showroom in Hertfordshire. We present seven amazing ranges chosen by our Product Manager Justin Jennings, that represent the cutting edge of ceramic design. 

We speak to Graphic Artist Anthony Burrill, Architect Robert Delius of Stride Treglown, and Colour Consultant Justine Fox, on the relationship between design, optimism and change. 

And we travel to the home of renowned Finnish Architect and Educator Juhani Pallasmaa for a deeply personal interview in which he reflects upon the fundamental essence and purpose of design, and explains why he sees “... the task of architecture as the defence of the authenticity of human experience.”
