ochrelogo.gifA fresh and modern import from London, Ochre is an offshoot of the London based design group by the same name headed up by Harriet Maxwell McDonald and Andrew Corrie...

 
 

Emphasizing high quality materials and expert British craftsmanship, Ochre "creates objects of style and beauty which are both timeless and contemporary." Their collection consists of furnishings, lighting and accessories in rich, natural colors -- and prices are likely to be high.

Elle Decoration 2003 wrote this about them: Design outfit Ochre is low key, but its work is incredibly sexy and influential. Flawless British craftsmanship is combined with only the best (often overlooked) materials, such as horn, horsehair, chain mail and coconut shell...creating pared down collections of furniture and accessories that are always ahead of the game.

The Soho store also carries an amazing selection of antiques and vintage pieces from the UK, France and Italy that complement the new OCHRE pieces. Their US website is pure eye candy with gorgeous photographs in soothing blues, greens and neutrals.

ooh, I love the blue-gray on the walls in the first 2 photos. I've been trying for weeks to find a color like that - and have spent so much time and money on samples! Aargh.

The store is pure eye candy as well. I've spent many a lunch hour in there, coveting all the things I can't afford.

jbaked..greys are very hard and I feel like I have tried them all, went through a similar exercise this past summer.
I think that color is Benjamin Moore "Smoke" or very darn close.. you just don't know until you try in your own space and light.

I wanted a similar color but since I have so much white wainscoting in my living room I went with a lighter crisper grey-blue color. My bedroom is more smokey grey with less blue and I think if I was to combine the paints of my living room and bedroom it would be that color. So possibly mixing BM "cashmere grey" and Ralph Lauren "Moonlight" might give you that color..now there is an idea for my hallway.

Anyone know where to buy convex mirrors like the ones in the picture? I can't find them on Ochre's website.
