THE COLLABORATION
Kindred spirits in their love of authentic craft and design excellence , The Refined Workshop and Tollgard ’ s shared values laid the foundations for the Wave collection . Two brands , rich in expertise and ideas found a new sense of freedom with this collaboration , enjoying the chance to bring to life something beautifully impossible .
“ Masters of their craft are always a joy to work with . The Refined Workshop combine engineering and artistry and it has been a pleasure and a privilege to bring the Wave Collection to life with them . They have taken our mantra of making the impossible , possible effortlessly into their stride . For the next collection we will try and make life even harder for them - they thrive on a design challenge .”
Staffan Tollgård , Founder & Creative Director
“ Connoisseurs of proportion , with many avid collectors around the world , Staffan and Castellani have surpassed our expectations with the Wave Collection . Pushing the boundaries of design in stone , these are majestic works with an enduring narrative for our discerning clients to treasure and pass down the generations . We look forward to the next challenge Staffan and his team present us with !”

THE LAUNCH
Exclusive partner for The Wave Collection launch , the May Fair Hotel ’ s rich heritage and passion for design excellence make it the perfect residence for the Wave Collection Artist ’ s Proofs . The marble works will take centre stage in The May Fair Hotel ’ s expansive windows , to be enjoyed equally by enchanted guests and captivated passersby .
The May Fair Hotel began its history in the 1920s , announcing itself to the world with suitably royal fanfare . Over the centuries it has played hosts to some of the world ’ s most exclusive events and celebrated names in fashion , art , and film .
Today it sits under Edwardian Hotels London , one of the UK ’ s largest privately owned hotel groups , founded by Jasminder Singh OBE in 1977 . The portfolio encompasses a wealth of upscale five- and four-star luxury hotels , including celebrated new launch , The Londoner , alongside The May Fair Hotel .
