First Flight [2019]

South + English is the brainchild of longtime partners and creative collaborators
Palmer Linwood Smith and David Ebbetts – the former an irrepressible live-large
Southerner and the latter, a dialed-back, buttoned-up Brit. Honestly, they couldn’t
be more different. And that’s where the magic happens.
With a counter-intuitive mix of provenance and personality, South + English is a
new home décor collection where opposites attract and styles converge.

South + English emerged from the creative minds and hands of Palmer and David
just nine months ago (somewhat under the radar). S+E is in its infancy, indeed!
What heady and fun early days these are, full of experimentation and revelation.
But, great design never flourishes in the dark, and secrecy is not our nature. While
the South + English perspective is honed and distinctive, Palmer and David crave
community. Hence, fall High Point Market is the first-flight penultimate launch of
approximately fifty South + English furniture pieces, and dozens more works of art.
This is the beginning of the beginning. Fasten seatbelts – and please do join us!
Penultimate Premiere.
SOUTH SAYS
“AT LAST. THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG ON S+E.
I’VE KEPT THIS SECRET FOR NINE MONTHS AND
WAS ABOUT TO BURST.”
ENGLISH SAYS
“WELL, I DON’T WANT TO BURST YOUR
BUBBLE, BUT NINE MONTHS?? YOU CAN’T
KEEP A SECRET FOR NINE MINUTES.”

It’s About Furniture. It’s About Life. You’ve got it: South + English is all about fresh starts.
Forward is the only direction Palmer and David know. So, it’s perhaps no surprise that the first S+E
collection is called Clean Slate. Each piece feels fresh, modern and in the moment. Yet, Clean Slate
designs echo traditional forms and the manufacturing process is classic old school. Each solid
wood piece is made to order in the American Middle West, bench-made by skilled artisans.

WHAT’S THAT THING ABOUT APPLES AND TREES...?”

Chairs, sofas, benches and chaises are couture in the land of furniture, as far as South + English is concerned. Each S+E style is designed for comfort and then dressed to kill. This Market, we’ve a penchant for pinks and purples, but our lineup of velvets and linens offers something for everyone. Inevitably, our favorites are yours: COMs are welcome.
Choose from three wood trim finishes. Welts, trims and buttons, extra details make our day.

Mirrored Statements
The first mirrors in our
collection could not be more
different – or more interesting.
Giselle is quietly Queen Anne
style with a French twist.
Coburg is proudly Prussian, with
angular good looks.
Put on a pedestal
Perfect for a G+T (English) or
a Spiked Palmer (South), tiny
tables are diminutive standouts
in a design plan. Edouard and
Nelson are at your service.

ENGLISH SAYS
“SCULPTURE MAY BE MY FAVOURITE ART FORM.
IT’S A SENSORY FEAST OF SHAPE AND TEXTURE.”
For its launch collection, S+E recasts antique sculptural finds, rescued from dusty continental flea markets, now reinvented
as objet d’art and even tabletop lighting.

Art elevates everything — the spaces we inhabit and life itself. Thus from inception, art has been
essential to S+E’s lively home decor mix. South is an accomplished painter in his own right — under the
brush-name Linwood. English is an avid collector and connoisseur. Together, Palmer and David have curated
an interesting collection of fine art reproductions available in various sizes with modern museum-quality
frame options. Best of all, it’s easy — as simple as 1, 2, 3 — to start decorating and collecting now.
