Teresa Rivera began her creative life in New York where she trained as a fine artist before moving to London and working in interior design before turning to furniture making. She brings a thoughtful and measured approach to timber and her pieces have a clarity that comes from a deep understanding of form and craft.

2026, I have high hopes. Not extravagantly high, but a touch above average. With these gently elevated expectations I thought I would indulge in a little property spotting. Temporary squatting. Just for the night of the year that always carries a flicker of excitement. Many people claim to hate New Year’s, but really, why should we. If it gives us an opportunity to be with friends and family, we ought to take what is afforded to us and wring as much joy from it as possible.

Gemma Moulton is a woman of great talents. Her fabric company, CC Moulton, has something very special about it. She has the ability to capture a look and a feeling far before anyone has got there. Her appreciation for fabrics and designs of the past in no way blinds her to building a collection for the future. One only has to look at the beginnings of East London Cloth and its evolution into CC Moulton to be struck by her ambition, paired with an extraordinary eye.
