Long Barn - English lavender growers and a beautiful home & garden store in Hampshire.

The studio worked with painter and illustrator Dan Williams on a series of in-store installations of fully showcasing his beautiful work at Long Barn. Dan spent two days painting his signature lavender stems onto the windows in ‘lavender alley’ at the Barn, making this a delightful walk through the old and new parts of the barn.
Dan’s beautiful lavenders and bees look especially evocative in shadow.

Based on the original labeling look for potted meats, marmalades and jams from the Victorian era these labels worked beautifully when pressed into the grooves of the pot - distorting the type in a lovely natural way.

As growers and distillers of English lavender, Long Barn are continuing a heritage of farming that is almost forgotten. In Victorian times, a thriving industry was developed upon the commercial farming and distillation of lavender. Proud of their link to a rich trading past, the studio helped create the Vintage Collection. Contained in a beautiful vintage stoneware cream pot, hand wrapped and finished with a wax seal the design shows farmers harvesting lavender.
