Cox & Cox celebrates 25 years with the launch of the Chapter 25 anniversary collection

Celebrating 25 years of timeless design, Cox & Cox is marking its milestone anniversary with the launch of Chapter 25 – a special capsule collection inspired by one of the brand's very first products.   At the heart of the collection is the delicate, skeletal Peepal leaf, whose distinctive silhouette first captured the imagination of the British public in the late 1990s - our founder, Fiona Cox, appeared on the BBC’s hugely successful makeover series, Home Front, where she created a striking wall display using the leaves.  The BBC was inundated with people wanting to know where they could buy the leaves, so Fiona quickly pulled together an order line using her husband’s mobile number and the hallway of her parents’ home in Bath became her stockroom. 

Twenty-five years on, those iconic leaves have come full circle, inspiring a collection designed by Cox & Cox's in-house creative team, including embroidered napkins, wall art and hand-blocked textiles.  A soft sage green palette, drawn from the natural tones of the original leaves, flows throughout the collection, alongside a special anniversary edition of Cox & Cox's best-selling Weathered Oak Stool, reimagined in sage. Ruffle-edge cushions, a quilted tote, make-up bags, a sleep mask and lampshades complete the limited-edition range, with a commemorative book celebrating 25 years of Cox & Cox style set to be published this autumn.

"The story behind Chapter 25 is rooted in the very beginnings of Cox & Cox. Looking back at the Peepal leaf that sparked so much excitement all those years ago reminded us how creativity and originality have always been at the heart of the brand. This collection celebrates our heritage and the timeless design our customers have come to know and love, while honouring the journey that has brought us to this milestone. As we celebrate 25 years, Chapter 25 reflects both where we've come from and where we're going – looking ahead to the next chapter with the same passion for creating beautiful, enduring pieces that make a home feel special." - Jan Duckworth, Managing Director, Cox & Cox 

Notes to editors: 

Cox & Cox was founded in 2001 by Fiona Cox and her friend Lizzie Thornton-Allan. Fiona was a photo stylist and Lizzie had previously worked as a music video producer.

Now, based in Frome, Somerset, Cox & Cox continues with the same ethos from where it began, though small decorative accessories have since turned into furniture - and much more - and today the business focuses on the careful curation of useful yet unique and beautiful high-quality products.
