A little walk around our stand at @ArtVilnius.

We’re at Litexpo until Sunday, showing work by @anncarrington, @evamitera, @amyisglass, @bottegavignoli and @antoinelangevin.filmmaker, and sharing the space with @madeinbritaly.

Today we’ve also finally got our hands on these incredible prints by @amyisglass, so if you’re at the fair, pop by and see them in person. We’re at stand 5.20.

And if you can’t make it here in person, but something here catches your eye, send us a message or email hello@twolongblondes.com.

If you’ve recently found us through our gallery, you may not know that interiors are the other side of what we do.

Alongside exhibiting and sourcing art and design, we also work on full interior design projects, like this five-storey townhouse in London Bridge.

For this returning client, we refurbished the house throughout, including updating the existing kitchen with marble worktops, a new splashback and island, and turning a former alcove into a bespoke drinks bar.

DM us or email hello@twolongblondes.com to find out more about our interior design work.

A little behind the scenes with @amyisglass in her studio, shaping the kiln-formed glass at the heart of her work.

Inspired by colour, sunlight and the botanical world, Amy creates simple forms that keep the focus on the beauty of the glass itself. Over the past 25 years, her work has ranged from large suspended installations to her more recent Paradise sculptures.

A coastal retreat, with no seashell in sight.

At Seaside Haven, the coast is present in method rather than motif. The palette holds to a muted, watercolor register, with blues and greens reminiscent of sea glass. Sparkle is treated as a material decision: metallic, mosaic, and pearlescent surfaces catch light unevenly, the way water does, so a room’s brightness shifts with the hour rather than staying static. Curvature carries the idea through the whole home, moving across furniture, fixtures, and finish work alike, a nod to tideline and wave over the hard geometry a high-rise interior might default to.

LCW Day 2, part 2. A few galleries have some lovely showcases of work in one room. One thing that stuck me as much of the work was the lighting at @sothebys . It's so focused and really makes the work stand out. I've not seen that before, I bet it costs a pretty penny!

Lovely to see @cavalierofinn @vessellondon and @oxfordceramicsgallery plus @wellsdaniella and @stacey___hunter
