luxurious Pfeiffer Design soft furnishings inside here,
just as the old bricks do in the master bedroom.
The formal sitting room – although that doesn’t
seem a groovy enough word for it – has a very LA feel,
with a pair of 1960s Cappellini swivel chairs covered
in original Pucci fabric the colours of Neapolitan ice
cream, oversized 1950s brass pineapple lamps and
velvet sofas from the Pfeiffer Design range, which they
have made in their own workshop in Eastbourne.
“This space has evolved,” says Susie. “It wasn’t all
bought together to be matchy matchy. I found pieces
from here and there and it all came together.”

Deco-style prints by Kirkby Designs – “recently changed
from a flowery print” – without feeling you really should
have a glass in your hand. Ideally, of the martini shape.
Susie confirms that this area is great for entertaining – and
for client presentations and I really can’t see how you could
not engage Pfeiffer Design after experiencing that space.
Which is, in fact, another of the reasons they embarked
