London’s most resourceful interior design studio, turning respectfully re-used materials into distinctive, contemporary spaces.

Husband-and-wife duo Maria Speake and Adam Hills co-founded the salvage and interiors company Retrouvius in response to the waste of high-quality building materials. Their pair met while studying architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, working on a project that found them sifting through discarded building materials in a skip. Since setting up in 1993, they’ve become masterful rummagers, brilliantly clever at sourcing and using interesting second-hand and vintage pieces.

Browse their showroom in northwest London – a trove of reclaimed treasures – and you’ll soon understand their penchant for finding beauty in rescued materials. For Retrouvius, salvage is as much about sustainability as it is human history and storytelling.
