15 Collingwood

On Collingwood Road just around the corner from our cricket ground studio is the most wonderful shop selling jewellery, artwork, textiles and furniture - mainly mid century classics - 15 Collingwood set up by two brothers.

SO much gorgeousness in one shop. If you love good design, this has to be a must. Online at the moment due to a beastly virus panning around the world, but definitely worth a look when we can get back to shopping.

15 Collingwood was set up in 2013 by brothers Rocco and Franco Catalano. Both were born and grew up in Northampton, and are very much in touch with the local design scene. Rocco studied Fashion Marketing at Newcastle Polytechnic and Fashion Design in Milan, before moving to London to work and study Furniture and Interior Design. He then became a freelance illustrator in London, later moving up to the renowned Glasgow School of Art to take a second degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing.

After Glasgow, he decided to move back to Northampton and saw a gap in the market for a more design-led lifestyle store. Working with his brother, Franco, they set up 15 Collingwood and it soon started to attract a steady stream of discerning buyers. Both brothers have an innate appreciation and passion for great design, and want to sell only that in their shop.
