Baobab – Cole & Son x Ardmore Collection at London Design Week 2025

This ‘Design Meets Art’ wallpaper collection pays homage to South Africa’s majestic Baobab tree. Full of mysticism and lore, the Baobab is affectionately known as the ‘Tree of Life’. Said to have healing properties, the tree acts as a symbol for the vibrant flora and fauna of South Africa; a distinctive figure in the landscape to which all creatures are drawn.

In this collaboration collection, the design houses of Cole & Son and Ardmore ceramics have continued to elevate their offering. Wallcoverings are vastly detailed and immersive, akin to the rich nature that surrounds Ardmore’s home within the Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Fanciful and joyful, each of the collection’s 9 designs is bursting with life. Regal King Cheetah’s prowl through the long grasses of the plain; a family of giraffes share a fleeting moment of maternal love amidst acacia leaves; and whimsical big cats enjoy a vibrant landscape of waterfalls and pools.

Previewing from 15 September at London Design Week, and available to pre-order from mid-November, Baobab – Cole & Son x Ardmore is a tonic to the Fall/Winter season; a ray of South African sun guaranteed to brighten an interior.
