Design with Soul: Anthony Rudolph on Craft, Storytelling, and the Beauty of Timeworn Pieces
- NICOLAS JAMES STUDIO-
In a world of fast trends and mass production, interior design at its best tells a deeper story— one of craftsmanship, character, and a genuine sense of place. In this exclusive Q & A, we speak with Anthony Rudolph at Nicolas James Group whose work captures the quiet beauty of layered design: vintage finds, natural textures, and interiors that feel collected rather than curated. With a strong eye for detail and a love of storytelling through space, their approach is rooted in authenticity and emotion.
A key part of this process is thoughtful sourcing, and few places offer more inspiration than Lots Road Auctions. Established in 1979 and now based in Fulham’ s iconic Piper Building, Lots Road is a longstanding favourite among designers for its weekly auctions of antiques, vintage pieces, and decorative objects. It’ s a place where unexpected treasures are found, and where craftsmanship and history take centre stage— an ideal match for a design philosophy that values soul over style.
