Ardmore Design

The story of Ardmore begins almost thirty years ago when in 1985, Fée Halsted started on a journey teaching ceramics to a talented group of rural people on a farm in a remote corner of the Kwazulu-Natal province in South Africa. At the turn of the decade, Ardmore took a bold step forward with the release of a hugely successful, experimental textile range in 2010. Today, the bustling studio is home to over 70 African artists whose works have been recognized as modern day collectables by auction houses Christies, Bonham's and Sotheby's. Ardmore Design's elegant fabric collections are sought after by leading interior decorators as well as renowned French fashion house Hermès, and British wallpaper manufacturers Cole and Son. Ardmore has now proudly earned itself a reputation for its iconic imagery through its uniqueness in its family values and the authenticity that exists at the heart of every artwork.
