Home Inspiration With Julie Carlson
Back in 1947, Sydney Schreiber set out to find new uses for machinery his business had been using to fabricate parts for radios and radar equipment during WWII. Since then, his London company, Kaymet, has specialized in handmaking anodized aluminum trays, trolleys, and hot plates. "The items that emerge from our Bermondsey factory can be found in some really special households, restaurants, and hotels, as well as in plenty of yachts and airplanes," they say.
Recently, Kaymet, under the leadership of Sydney's son, Ken, has been "gently expanding the range, carefully tweaking our products." We're glad the trolleys roll on.
Above: The anodized aluminum Two-Tier Modern Trolley with removable metal trays is £355 ($548) in gold from Clippings.
Above: The Two-Tier Modern Trolley is available in several other finishes, including silver; £355 ($548) from Clippings. Kaymet's frame and trays are al "brushed, formed, and hand-finished before anodizing."
Above: Kaymet makes a Folding Trolley in five colors, including Mellow Green; £362.50 ($559.50) from Clippings.
Above: Kaymet offers a range of trays. The Original Tray comes in five sizes and several colors; it's available to the trade from Haute Living in Chicago. Clippings offers the Original Tray in cobalt blue and silver, starting at £172.50 ($266.29).
For more, including a list of retailers around the world, go to Kaymet.

Design Travel With Izabella Simmons
Could the small town of Bruton in Somerset be England's answer to Marfa? Acclaimed hotel and restaurant At the Chapel opened its doors in 2008, followed last year by Hauser & Wirth's ambitious international arts complex and inn. And now there's Caro, a design store and cafe founded by London creative Natalie Jones.
Jones discovered Bruton eight years ago, when she fell in love with a local fellow. She's been weekend commuting to Somerset ever since, but her work life remained in London—she did fashion and architecture branding for Winkreative and, before that, trend forecasting at the Future Laboratory and interior styling for magazines. When Hauser & Wirth arrived, she decided to make the move herself and open Caro. "Photographers, artists, chefs, they're all here. And, thanks to the Hauser & Wirth gallery, it's also a town that is visited by people from all over the world, so it seemed right for me to set my retail roots down in this spot," says Jones. We plan to make the pilgrimage.
Photography by Emma Lewis for Caro.
Above: A peek into the shop from a tile-clad window showing a enamelware by Welsh brand Blodwen. Caro occupies three ground-floor roos in an 18th-century stone building, and the Victorian green tiles, Jones tells us, were revealed underneath a layer of cream paint. "All it took was a bit of scrubbing."
Above: An array of household goods, from wire bins to local ceramics and cushions, are displayed on steel-framed plywood shelves made by Paul Vincent. Reading materials are displayed on a Vincent table with a Forbo Marmoleum top and hairpin legs.
Looking for your own woven pendant lights? See our Design Sleuth post.
Above: Desk organizers by Danish design studios Hay and Nomess.
Above: The pendant lights in the window are by Fritz Fryer. The doors are painted in Down Pipe by Farrow & Ball—because of the historic building's Grade II listing, Jones was required to use distemper.
Above: The walls at Caro, including the cafe, shown here, are painted in Farrow & Ball's Pink Ground. Like the magazine display table, the counter/bar area has a Forbo Marmoleum top. The oak Copenhague Bar Stools are by Hay.
Above: A Copenhague Table CPH30 (plywood with green linoleum top) is pared with J110 Chairs, and J77 Chairs (black lacquered beech), all by Hay. The lamps are from Rockett St George.
Above: The old fireplace niche is decoratively stacked with wood.
Above: Caro owner, Natalie Jones, behind her counter offering salted-caramel brownies from Somerset artisanal baker The Bakemonger. The counter is clad in Geometric Cube Tiles by Mandarin Stone, and the white Porcelain Ceiling Mounted Fittings are by Thomas Hoof from SCP. Stay tuned: Jones will offer guests a room to rent above the shop later this fall and has a suite in the works for spring. Like the look of her shop? She's also available for interior design commissions.
Here are three more reasons to visit Somerset:

Design Travel With Margot Guralnick
On Monday, we visited Patrick Williams of design-build firm Berdoulat at home in London—see Out with the New: Reinventing the Past in a London Remodel. Today we're exploring his family's home away from London: one of Bath, England's most beloved historic houses, which Williams spent 18 months overhauling.
The Georgian townhouse at 5 Pierrepoint Place was built in 1748 as the home of John Wood, the Elder, the designer and town planner behind many of Bath's greatest architectural hits, including the Royal Crescent and the Roman Colosseum-inspired Circus. Purchased in a near derelict state, it's been brought back to life by Williams, a restoration expert, ardent salvage hound—and, now, B&B host: He and and his wife, Neri Kamcili, have dubbed the house Berdoulat & Breakfast and run it as a two-room inn.
Above: Williams's collection of Penguin paperbacks fills his London living room and the library in Bath. Guests are invited to peruse the stacks on request, but asked to "sit with care on the sofa," an original Hepplewhite.
Above: Williams created the combined kitchen and dining room out of spaces previously used as a dentist's office, Masonic meeting room, and the green room of a neighboring theater among other things. The dining table once stood in the boardroom of his great grandfather's pottery and was the family table at Berdoulat, his childhood home in Southwest France.
Above: "Keen to keep the original paneling of the walls on show, we decided to design the kitchen around a central island, and to match the molding of the panels in the unit's doors," says Williams. "We have our cabinetmaker friend Marcus to thank for the building of the island. He suggested it be referred to as the kitchen continent rather than island given its scale."
Above: The vintage taps came from "a wonderful man in Bidford on Avon who restores brassware."
Neri Kamcili grew up in Istanbul and offers guests a choice of Turkish or English breakfast.
Above: In a corner of the kitchen, an antique rush-seated chair and evidence that Williams and Kamcili's two young children are in residence.
Above: "A paper trail history of the house from before it was built" patterns the entryway. The documents detail how the house was to be built—"from citing the source of the stone through to the color the windows and front door were to be painted," says Williams. "Our paint color dilemma was solved when we discovered these deeds."
Above: The Elder Suite occupies what was originally the kitchen, and has a stone fireplace that once contained the hearth and bread ovens. Note the headboard created from a salvaged fireplace surround.
Above: The Elder Suite's sitting area and shuttered windows; learn about interior shutters in Janet's Remodeling 101 post.

Above: The Linley Suite bathroom comes with a circular tub and brass fixtures, towel warmer included. Curious about the benefits of the hanging branches? See Design Sleuth: Instant Spa Bathroom.
Above: The Georgian house, like so many that John Wood designed, has a façade of local gold-colored limestone now known as Bath stone. Go to Berdoulat & Breakfast for more details and reservations.
