A few months back, we had the pleasure of enjoying an English breakfast tea at Michael Marriott’s charming studio in Dalston, London. When you enter Michael Marriott’s studio, you will be surrounded by an eclectic mix of objects.
An ironing board hangs from the ceiling, an attractive yellow cleaning basket lamp, and shelves overflowing with tools, treasures, and odds and ends.
