The Retrospective

2020 was the year that…

Property Week announced AGC as one of the Best Places to Work in Property for the 3rd time. The March Lockdown also saw the launch of 'Lockdown Lessons' live on Instagram. The designers and directors also had the delight of interviewing Charlie Willis, Phillip Jeffries, Nat Bowen, Lees Associates, Maria Morris and other industry experts.

We packed up our impressive fabric library and moved our HQ from Marylebone to the stellar Mortimer House in Fitzrovia. Additionally, our logistics heroes and very own frontline were spotted in some of London's hottest developments sporting their slick new uniforms. 

Lastly, we formed dedicated teams to establish and drive to the existence of our diversity and sustainability pledges and we are eager to reveal our next steps!

In 2021, look out for…

A continuation in our collaboration with United in Design, a fantastic organisation which is pioneering diversity within the industry.

We are also set to define and embed our Environmental, Social and Corporate ambitions as a follow up to our achievements in obtaining the ISO14001 Environmental Accreditation. We have big plans to become Carbon Neutral and start to define standards as an industry voice. 

Finally, yet importantly, AGC are proud to announce that we have joined Walpole along with other elité British brands this year. More details to follow soon.

Over on their Instagram, they hit over 10k followers, and finally, after nearly 2.5 years, Accouter completed installing at the super elegant interior architecture scheme in Belgravia.

A.LONDON completed their Miami penthouse inspired scheme The W1: Townhouse featuring artwork from the contemporary British Artist, Nat Bowen. The project went on to win 'Residential Interior Show Home' at this year's International Property Awards, for the 5th year. Not only that, A.LONDON also won 'Best Interior Designer Website' for the United Kingdom.

In December, the designers completed installs at the prestigious Corinthia Residences, showcasing a charismatic, timeless look. A.LONDON’s Horlick’s Quarter scheme was revealed featuring a bespoke multifunctional design. The full portfolios are now available to view on their website.

A.LONDON released their new lookbook representing the first chapter of their journey towards becoming a more sustainable company. Printing the lookbooks on FSC Certified paper, they were then wrapped in wildflower seeded paper, all tied together in a silk ribbon made from recycled bottles.

The team continued to deliver a hassle-free design-led turnkey furnishing solution leading to some amazing success stories with top developers such as Lillie Square, Capital & Counties Properties PLC, where BoxNine7 completed over 50 installations throughout 2020.

BoxNine7's new Athena House Home Staging Scheme with Calibre Developments was also taken off the market on the first day of dressing! The scheme has since been moved and now onto its 3rd property within the development for a Dress to Sell.

Displaying a sophisticated, contemporary style in the heart of Chelsea, we also saw the launch of BoxNine7's successful Cranley Gardens scheme. After dressing the property through their Home Staging service, the apartment spent just 1 week on the market before selling.

BoxNine7 also had a makeover. They introduced their new branding throughout, including beautifully designed Curated Furniture Packages, Home Staging and Interior Design brochures.

In 2021 look out for…

An on-going demand in providing furnishing solutions for leading developments, next year, you will find BoxNine7 busy at Mount Anvil, Hexagon Apartments and many more key developments. The team are also looking forward to the launch of their updated furniture collections and new website.
