PURE IMAGINATION

PURE IMAGINATION

After some 25 years of auctioneering Andrew set up Pure Imagination Ltd in 2002. Initially buying glass and ceramics in Scandinavia the company started to buy Mid-Century furniture which we now source all over the UK as well as in Europe. Jonathan joined us in 2011 and added his experience in British pieces from the 60's and 70's. We now also have a full-time restorer and upholsterer working for us, so customers can choose their own colours and fabrics for sofas and chairs. We have a wealth of experience between us and are passionate about what we sell. Our interests are many, so when we see great pieces from other periods we add them to our stock. Our 4000 square foot warehouse is full of pieces in restored and unrestored condition, we also regularly sell to European and Far Eastern trade buyers .

'your upholstery is like fine tailoring' Sophie Conran

My name is Christine Shepherd, a Londoner by birth, entrepreneur and a free spirit by nature with a passion for chairs, lighting and art. And owner of TheKula.

We specialise in unusual and elegant chairs from the 1930’s – 1950’s and vintage lamps created by renowned Spanish manufacturer ‘fase’ of Madrid. Our chairs are for the discerning customer, those that seek quality and individuality as all our chairs are one-off, unique, beautiful creations. We also have a selection of handpicked tables, paintings and decorative items in our premises at 52 High Street, Old Town Hastings.

A little about me .....My passion for design and interiors developed in 2007, whilst living in Andalucia, Spain, when I was given the opportunity to remodel 33 rooms of Hotel Punta Sur in Tarifa. Delighted with the outcome the owners then commissioned me to design three new suites and remodel the lounge and restaurant areas.

In 2010 I returned to the UK and whilst wondering what to do next (I did say I was a free spirit) I began to see the mid-century chairs and ‘fase’ lamps that I had used in Spain in various lifestyle magazines. I thought to myself ‘I know where to find those!’ It was a ‘eureka’ moment and TheKula UK was born.

I source furnishings that inspire me, that make me gasp with excitement as soon as I see them …. and those that I can carry! What began with a weekly stall in Spitalfields Antique Market, London has developed into a small, but gorgeous shop in Hastings Old Town. My clients come from all walks of life with one thing in common …. an eye for beautiful things.
