If you’ve been dreaming of a coffee table in Charlotte's Locks, a Bancha chair or a Studio Green bench, we’ve got wonderful news. Renowned design studio Nickey Keyhoe has launched a new range of custom-made furniture, all hand-painted in Farrow & Ball. The team have selected shades to complement their beautiful, bespoke designs. Naturally, they’ve also used our toughest finish, Modern Eggshell, to make sure each piece can be loved for years to come.

We asked Patrick O’Donnell, our Brand Ambassador and in-house colour connoisseur, about the new collection. It’s safe to say, he’s a little in love:
‘It’s a joy to see our colours come to life on the beautifully curated furniture collection from Nickey Kehoe. The summer tones range from bright mid-century inspired colours, such as the acidic olive of Bancha, to the faded verdrigris notes of Arsenic. Both bring a playful, modern aesthetic, whilst the rich jewel tones of Brinjal and Charlotte’s Locks make for a glamourous colour block look. The colour palette for the Fall rightly errs on earth tones, using a blend of our signature palette and our beloved Archive shades.’

Thankfully, Patrick’s love isn’t unrequited. We spoke to studio founders, Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe, who are equally admiring of yours truly. They’ve even used our paint in their brand-new showroom:
‘We’ve always believed in the transformative power of colour, and Farrow & Ball has been a go-to for us, especially after using their Green Ground in the Salon of our New York City showroom. The depth, richness, and artisanal quality perfectly complement our approach to design.’
