Every now and then a designer comes along who produces something you suspect you will never tire of enjoying. In this case the artist is Mark Aldridge; the product is his range of on-glaze painted tiles. Adorned with fruit, topiaries, wildlife and country themes, Mark’s collections (fired right there on the premises) have a hue and style uniquely their own. Complement them with one of Smoke & Fire’s natural wooden or stone floors and the finished look is stunning. A family-business established in 2000, Smoke & Fire also stocks Little Greene Paints; Earthborn Paints; reclaimed antique baths; showcase kitchens by Henry Gordon Jones; and a wide selection of 11cm tiles in natural and muted pastel colours.
