Inglis Hall for Jay Osgerby—where Master Craft meets Design Royalty
Jay Osgerby. A name that carries weight.
A designer whose work doesn’t just sit in the world—it shapes it.
Over three decades, his curiosity has led his studios through architecture, interiors, furniture, and product design. From the London 2012 Olympic Torch to the ‘Loop’ table for Isokon and the ‘Soft Work’ sofa for Vitra, these creations are as iconic as they are enduring.
Awards are plentiful—The Jerwood Prize, the London Design Medal, an OBE. Design royalty, indeed.
It is this relentless pursuit of excellence that brought Jay to Inglis Hall. Drawn by a shared reverence for British craftsmanship, the unfitted kitchen and a belief in the beauty of honest materials, Jay approached us with a vision—a bespoke kitchen for his home. But. Not just any home.
An imposing timber-framed Hampshire barn and connected stables being restored by the visionary disrupter architects Rural Office, offering a canvas as bold and ambitious as the project itself.
More name dropping.
Dinesen. A name that whispers of wood’s extraordinary potential. A natural fit. Our kind of people.
True collaboration is a slow burn. It’s a conversation, a dance, a series of questions and answers that lead to something greater. Together, balancing form and function, materiality and aesthetic, with restraint and clarity.
Not just a kitchen, but a series of new ideas.
A bespoke tool cupboard, inspired by the organisational principles of an Inglis Hall workshop cabinet, reimagined for the kitchen. Tall, elegant, and cloaked in Douglas Fir, it’s a piece that will bring both character and function to Jay and Helen’s home.
This isn’t just about a kitchen. It’s about the stories that unfold in its making. The quiet moments of discovery. The thrill of seeing an idea take shape. The satisfaction of knowing that every detail, every decision, has been considered, questioned, refined.
As design moves to making, we look forward to sharing more—a relationship built on mutual respect, a pursuit of quality, and the seamless interplay of contemporary vision and timeless craftsmanship.
