Interiors of the future: artist turned interior designer explores new materials and artisanal techniques to craft unique spaces. Fiona Lynch transforms the unyielding into the poet ic. In her hands, stone, metal, wood and textiles become fluid, expressive and alive. She sees worlds of possibility within them: the deep greens of forests and the shifting blues of the ocean within granite tiles, or the softness of liquid movement honed into creamy marble. What first appears as clean-lined minimalism reveals itself to be rich with layers of technique, texture and quiet complexity – spaces that evolve the longer you look, the longer you live within them. Material Wonder highlights the rich layers of technique behind Fiona’s show-stopping interiors. As Fiona likes to say, ‘Think spirited minimalism meets atmospheric potency.’ Whether it’s choosing a hero colour, transforming a home office with a purple lacquer desk, creating a striking pink marble kitchen, or wrapping an island bench with ruched pumice-coloured leather, Fiona truly uses materials like no one else.
