Georgina Paix | Founder & Director
it all started...
As with a lot of small businesses, it all started from the kitchen table, after a decade long career as a COO for a ME think tank.
I had some major surgery in 2012 which necessitated a re-evaluation of my professional life. This, along with the inheritance of some old (and rather beautiful!) furniture resulted in lots of upholstery tuition with Alison Scott and a soft furnishings course with Deborah Good - both incredibly talented & experienced tutors.
One of my first commissions was curtains for a rather prestigious client. I was also asked to help choose rugs some of the rooms in this similarly prestigious property. The client was not in residence and I needed to somehow convey how various rugs would look - this is how the Visualisation & Design Service started. I downloaded some 3d software and started modelling. Needless to say - over the years, how I model & draw has developed significantly. My current personal preference is for a hybrid visual: a fusion of a photograph and pencil drawing – they seem to me to be less ‘sterile’ than a photograph.

we are now...
a team of 4, working out of our own workshops in the Kent village of Ryarsh with an office base in Sevenoaks.
We have an extensive fabric library in what we loosely call our showroom, stocking all the major fabric brands including curtain poles etc etc.
There is also a never ending supply of numerous off-cuts as well as high quality curtain linings, interlinings for sale.
