What's behind our name?

Our unique vision for interiors required a similarly individual name, so our founder Charlotte turned to a childhood favourite of hers – the Monkey Puzzle Tree. Her parents planted this unusual, spiky tree in the garden of their Yorkshire home when Charlotte was born.

This strange and defiant-looking tree became a constant presence as she was growing up, even producing tiny tree babies in the year in which Charlotte gave birth to her first child. 

This proud and distinctive tree with its optimistic, upturned branches has a timeless but unconventional appeal. The perfect analogy, we think, for our visionary – and yet sometimes subversive – approach to interiors.
