About
Born from friendship with a shared love for craft and design, Howes & Landino is a luxury lifestyle homeware destination curated by Karen Howes & Jane Landino. With over twenty years of interior design expertise, alongside a lifelong passion for creating beautiful homes, they have brought their unique aesthetic and expert eye for detail to create a collection of collaborations and homeware, where every creation tells a story.
Working closely with both longstanding and new design collaborators, they aim to celebrate the exceptional craftsmanship of their select partners, reflecting their refined taste and artistic vision. From one-off finds, vases, furniture, sculptures, to their very own in-house designs. Each piece brings the same passion and meticulous attention, which has allowed them to sit at the top of the design world for three decades.
Adam Williams is a sculptor, designer and art collector, who founded his studio in 2004 with the aim of creating bold and complex metal furniture, with touches of sculptural detail that make it completely unique. His early career saw him restoring the West Front to Wells Cathedral and from these humble beginnings he discovered a love of working with stone, and later metal. His creativity led him to sculpture, and casting tables out of stone. This led him to teach himself the craft of blacksmithing and metalwork, which he then applied to creating tables.
Today he works with a range of metals, marble and glass, producing work with rich, lustrous tones and engaging textures. His design methodology is freestyle and intuitive. He might be inspired by a story, or something he has seen.
Every piece he produces is custom-made with his small workshop team in Somerset. Adam has developed the brand by immersing himself into fashion and interior design movements and always staying ahead of the game. “Design is always in a continuous state of evolving, refining, improving, enhancing and change.”
