London-born, Chelsea School of Art-trained Alex Randall sure knows how to light up a room. She made her first lamp at the age of eight, became known for her first piece, the award-winning Bakelite Telephone Lamp, and now her signature style uses unconventional materials such as taxidermy, rawhide and salvaged materials. She creates pieces for a high profile clientele and holds pop ups everywhere from Lane Crawford in Hong Kong to San Francisco’s Ken Fulk and London’s Sanderson Hotel. Next time you’re in the Riding House Café, look out for her squirrel wall fixtures.

RANDALL’S RELAX THYME GIN & TONIC TWIST
Ingredients
50ml Bombay Sapphire
50ml Martini Prosecco
50ml premium tonic water
15ml pink grapefruit juice (approximately the fresh juice from 1/6 of a whole fruit)
Large slice of an orange cantaloupe melon
Garnish
A few sprigs of lemon thyme
A large spritzed grapefruit peel twist
A scattering of a few pistachio nuts served around the base of the glass
Method
Take a Bombay Sapphire balloon glass and add a large slice of cantaloupe melon to it (the shape of it should follow the line of the glass perfectly). Pour in the Bombay Sapphire and gently stir to start the infusion process. Squeeze in the pink grapefruit juice and stir again. Fill the glass with good quality cubed ice and stir to chill. Gently pour in equal parts of the premium tonic water and Martini Prosecco. Gently stir. Finally, add a large spritzed grapefruit peel twist and a few sprigs of lemon thyme to the top of the drink for the aroma. Complement the drink with a scattering of a few pistachio nuts served around the base of the glass.
