David Thorpe is a passionate advocate for pattern and decoration and the five panels he has created for St James’s Market, Ends Papers and Book Ends, illustrate this.

The three large-scale exterior panels made from over 1,000 handmade encaustic tiles repeat a pattern inspired by the work of the 19th century Arts and Crafts bookbinder TJ Cobden Sanderson.

The two interior pieces made with over 17,000 individual pieces of laser-cut leather are made of an intricate lattice laid over a Corian panel. Inspired by early 17th century fabrics, the bespoke pattern developed by Thorpe references the exquisite detail found in clothing that might have been seen on the traders when St James’s Market first sprang to life in the 1600s.
