NOW

WORDS: BETHAN RYDER

’EVERYONE WAS ASKING WHERE THINGS WERE FROM AND I JUST

THOUGHT: “WHAT AM I DOING? I’VE JUST GOT TO DO THIS”‘

a collection in my late teens, but creating

the business at that time just wasn’t right.’

Since then, she has studied a KLC interior

design course remotely, completed private

residential projects, lived in Tanzania with

her husband, and had three children. It was

when the family moved to England and

Kindersley shipped back all their locally

bought homewares that she realised the

time was right. ‘Everyone was asking where

things were from and I just thought: “What

am I doing? I’ve just got to do this!”’

She sourced the debut collection in under

eight months. Highlights include woven

cane pieces from Malawi in the form of

large pendant lights, loungers, chairs and

oval mirrors; coffee tables made of woven

grass and sculptural vases by Madwa;

brightly coloured tableware by Clementina

Ceramics; and dog leashes and collars by

Cape Town pet supplies brand Chommies.

This autumn, Kindersley will be opening

a permanent by-appointment-only space

in Chipping Norton, where she is looking

forward to unveiling some mohair rugs and

additional fashion finds (hadeda.co.uk).

Pictured Home textiles and cushions,

from £80; ceramics, from £21; baskets,

from £70; woven mats, from £650;

lighting and furniture, from £150,
