The Radnor Tableware - Meet the Maker

Albion Nord decided that the Radnor Tableware Collection – which includes dinner plates, side plates, cereal bowls, soup bowls and mugs – should be made from porcelain, since the first English porcelain was produced in Chelsea. As such, the tableware draws on heritage, not only of the Barracks, but of the very area itself.

The Beauty of Tradition

Let us take you back 32 years. Love was in the air, hope was on the horizon – the ‘60s were in full swing. Keith Rawkins – a fine art graduate, who had spent several years working alongside ‘The mad silkman’ Zika Ascher – spotted an opportunity. London’s fledgling fashion houses were in need of fabrics. So Keith and his wife Stephanie began designing and hand-printing from their basement flat in Fulham. Before long, they were supplying some of the city’s most celebrated couturiers. Marina Mill was born and is today creating a bespoke series of fabrics unique to Chelsea Barracks.
