Our Studio
Tess Newall is a decorative artist based in Sussex and London. She hand-paints bespoke murals and furniture internationally, and offers her own collection of wallcoverings and homewares. The collection is borne from murals she has painted, and is inspired by historic documents from her own personal collection.
Tess's approach to design is rooted in research, with an extensive knowledge of decorative arts lending her work a timeless feel. Her work celebrates the joy of mark-making and its ability to add a characterful layer to a room. With a shared affinity for the Arts and Crafts movement, Tess often works with her husband, furniture maker Alfred Newall.
Our studio decorates walls and furniture worldwide, working collaboratively with interior designers and private clients to bring a creative vision to life. With a background in theatre and film, Tess intends for every project to evoke an atmosphere and tell a story. She has worked with renowned interior designers including Beata Heuman, Jake Arnold, Sophie Ashby, David Netto, Lonika Chande and Ben Pentreath.
Our homewares collection is designed and produced in England using traditional techniques, emphasising the character and integrity of hand processes. Our wallcoverings give the feel of an original artwork, and our furniture is painted by hand in our Sussex studio. A custom service is available across our homewares collection to work with your scheme.
