The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2024 - Issue 35

Cristina Lloyd looks at Cox & Cox founder Fiona Cox’s expansion from a mail-order catalogue to a sophisticated realm of furnishing wonders. bitelifestyle Cox & Cox B ritish furnishing brand Cox & Cox’s intuitive under- standing of what real homes want helps customers enjoy a timeless look at home and create spaces they love to be in. The phenomenal was founded in 2001 as a mail order service after the late interior design figure Fiona Cox, a presenter on the BBC’s hugely successful makeover series Home Front , was inundated with enquiries about a wall dec- oration she had made with dried leaves from the Indian pipal tree, which had an ethereal webbed skeleton of veins. She then created homeware products that couldn’t be found in traditional catalogues and encouraged customers to find their style in timeless pieces based on their impeccable taste. Years later, the brand remains true to its roots and scours the globe for unique and eclectic products for individually minded people who want to create a home with style and flair. Today, Cox & Cox continues to fuse their passion for homeware with timeless aesthetics. All products are chosen with the customer in mind. “Our de- sign-led collections are inspired by tradition and trend to offer new ways to transform the homes and gardens of every inte- rior enthusiast,” the brand says. “From inspirational furniture, lighting, storage, and accessories, we capture the season with a timeless aesthetic and effortless style.” Thus, they curate natu- ral styles for design lovers of all tastes, with distinct, harmoni- ous, and unique detailed looks. At Cox & Cox, you can expect elegant dining tables and chairs, sofas, luxurious beds and storage solutions. Each piece is craft- ed meticulously in high-quality materials such as oak, velvet, and marble to add a sophisticated touch to any room. The lighting range features industrial-style pendant lights, chic table lamps and outdoor lanterns. Home accessories include plush cushions and throws, stylish mirrors and wall art, while outdoor living extends to garden furniture and planters. The warm-toned Emery Sofa has a voluptuous curved outline that commands attention in any home. Its oak frame encircles the rounded upholstered seat to create a soothing yet decadent silhouette. The natural wood complements the sofa’s neutral fabric, making it perfect for homes where harmony between materials and setting are essential. The Bern Armchair and Sofa have a delightful plump buttoned back, low recessed roll arms, and decadently squishy feather-cushioned seats. Taking inspiration from the pure simplicity of classic Scandi- navian design, the Lier Sofa features a beautifully interpreted spindle-backed frame in natural wood. The deep foam-filled upholstered cushions with piped edges to the seat, back, and sides provide a welcoming place to sit. This clean-lined piece would suit a minimalist living room wanting to preserve a sense of warmth and homeliness. A collection upholstered in 34 distinctive shades and six fabrics, the Geneve range consists of a Loveseat, Ottoman, Two-Seater and Three-Seater Sofas.
