Plunging back into nineteenth-century Paris was absolutely magical. It was like taking a journey back in time, in which I was able to open secret doors to a forgotten Paris. To discover ateliers hidden at the back of Parisian courtyards like a treasure hunt across Paris.
It was really a long-anticipated change in lifestyle that inspired me and my husband Christian to set up The Treasure Trove Interiors. Having moved from London down to Brighton in 2010, I managed the commute back to the City for a couple of years and over that time, began planning the change in career from Office Manager, to running my own furniture business.
We are delighted to have the opportunity to interview Maxine Hall and Paula Moss, Designers and Directors of Blackpop.
What inspired you to create Blackpop?
Blackpop was a midlife plunge into the unknown for me.
