Über dieses Video

For the latest episode of Unlocked, our resident snoop Akilah Cohen visits Isamaya Ffrench’s Georgian home in east London. As fans of Akilah will know, no cupboard is left unopened in this joyous tour of Isamaya’s singular space. From dental phantoms to spiked bedposts and chain-mail lampshades, we see precisely how Isamaya’s home has come to represent “an external expression of [her] interior world.” Film by Spilt for The Modern House CHAPTERS 01:30 The entrance hall and first impressions 02:41 Isamaya the collector 03:05 Kitchen tour 04:13 Home as an external expression of our interior worlds 05:14 The renovation project 05:35 A converted coal chute 07:17 A chainmail lamp by Wretched Flowers 08:24 Bedroom tour 09:16 Spiked bedposts by Robin Lambert 09:48 Art by Phil Hale 11:26 Bathroom tour 12:26 Objects as reminders of who we are 13:29 Wardrobe/dressing room tour 15:20 Akilah tries on Isamaya’s shoes 15:33 Isamaya’s wardrobe and shoe collection 16:21 Storage/make-up room tour 17:50 The genesis of Studio Iron 19:10 Dining room tour 20:31 Sitting room tour 20:39 A cabinet of curiosities Isamaya beauty tools and make-up: https://isamaya.co.uk/ Studio Iron: https://www.instagram.com/studioiron_/ Robin Lambert carpentry: https://www.instagram.com/rlrl_f/ Wretched Flowers: https://www.wretchedflowers.com/ Phil Hale art: https://www.instagram.com/philhalestudio/ Andu Masebo: https://andumasebo.com/ Natalia Zwardon Studio: https://www.nataliazwardon.com/ Cruda shoes: https://www.instagram.com/cruda_cruda/ Never miss a new film, subscribe here: https://bit.ly/36I7z8y Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themodernhouse/ & https://www.instagram.com/inigo.house/ Selling design-led homes in the UK: https://www.themodernhouse.com Selling historic homes in the UK: https://www.inigo.com/ Like us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/34BKO3x & https://www.facebook.com/inigo.house Home and interior inspiration, delivered to your inbox: https://www.themodernhouse.com/newsletter/ & https://www.inigo.com/#newsletter/ Listen to our latest podcast, How My Garden Grows: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how-my-garden-grows/id1837703535 Best interiors Instagram accounts (Vogue) Best homes accounts (Guardian) Ultimate interiors accounts (Telegraph)
