The composer writes: The title is taken from a shop of the same name in London which specialises in restored vintage furniture, and the pared-down character of the piece relates to the shop. Many of the items have an utilitarian character (eg. circus ladder, pigeon-hole cabinet, luggage rack) but with the passing of time have acquired a timeless appeal. It's more like a museum as nothing has a price tag attached. The piece was written at the request of Jonathan Powell whom I have known, and had the pleasure of working with, for many years.
This is the Slovak premiere, given at the 2015 Indian Summer in Levoca Festival by Jonathan.
