5 minutes with… Marc from Candana

For this segment, we normally interview the wonderful architects and designers we have the pleasure of working with. But today I thought I’d try something a little different and ask our very own managing director, Marc Reed to share his insights into design and bathrooms.

No one is more familiar with the workings of the bathroom industry than Marc who is the second generation owner of the store. He lives, breathes and sleeps design bathroomware and has gladly agreed to share a few of his thoughts.
