We had a chat about collecting contemporary automata with TV personality and interior designer, Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen today.
He is making a new series for ITV1 called ‘House Gift’ which will be screened in the UK later this summer.
Laurence had been to CMT in Covent Garden years ago, but had then forgotten all about automata until he visited the house of an avid automata collector (whose house will be part of the series), and was so inspired by the collection that he contacted us to find out more.
