The Andrew Martin is our fifth brand of Resource Decor. Designer Martin Waller established his company, Andrew Martin, in 1978 drawing his inspiration, like many others, from his worldly travels. He states on his official website - AndrewMartin.co.uk:
"For me design has been about reflecting different cultures and communicating a passion for the people that made them. While many designers want to say something new, I want to say something old – to capture a flavour of an antique land and somehow bottle it. It's a homage to the many generations from different lands who have bequeathed a legacy of design." - See more at: http://www.andrewmartin.co.uk/
You can easily see in many of his works where the piece is inspired from whether that's a time period or place.
Even as a young boy, Martin was attracted to planes and space travel which translated to many of his designs. Every piece has a meaning or a story to it and that's one reason why it's so attractive.

Martin now only designs furniture for Andrew Martin UK and Resource Decor, but also has an extensive fabric and wallpaper line. Many of his fabrics have been integrated into the Resource Decor fabric handles and throw pillow program.
Martin was one of my favorite designers to talk to and to learn from at High Point Fall Market. He was so incredibly down to earth and fun to be around. Always joking and having a blast. Although he's a superstar in the design field around the world, he still laughs at the fact he's got paparazzi following him and people going crazy to get photos with him.
