Cox London:

Cox London began in the mid-1990s when sculptors Christopher and Nicola Cox discovered a shared fascination with sculpture and the decorative arts. Formalised as a studio in 2005, the company includes artists, engineers, and makers, all dedicated to creating timeless works rooted in slow design and inspired by nature. From their Pimlico Road showroom and London workshop, Cox London continues to redefine the boundaries between art and function.

This spirit finds an ideal setting at Holland Park Gate. Residence 85 has been conceived as a private home for the modern collector, a place where art, design, and daily living exist in harmony. Its centrepiece is the ‘Voyager Chair’, one of Cox London’s most celebrated creations. Cast in bronze and sculpted by Nicola Cox, the ‘Voyager Chair’

THE VOYAGER CHAIR

captures the rhythm of ocean swells and shifting sands. “Ocean swells and shifting sands inspired the Chair’s form and surfaces,” notes Nicola. Its rippling, polished bronze surface seems alive with motion, transforming a functional object into a sculptural meditation on movement, memory, and nature.

Each edition of the Chair is unique. Early designs referenced 19th-century navigation charts from Oceania, while the edition in Residence 85 features silk upholstery embroidered with seaweed forms gathered from the Jurassic Coast. More than 30 hues are stitched by hand, turning fabric into living artwork that complements the sculptural frame.

Celebrated as a work of art in its own right, a pair of Voyager Chairs were acquired by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire for Chatsworth House’s 2022 exhibition ‘Living with Art We Love’. Now, in Residence 85, they continue that legacy, embodying exploration, craftsmanship, and the dialogue between nature and culture. In a home designed for those who live with and love art, the ‘Voyager Chair’ feels perfectly at home.
