Ca' Pietra x Nth Degree Clerkenwell at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026

We're pleased to share that our stone features on the Nth Degree Clerkenwell stand at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show. It's a lovely project to be involved in, designed by Tomoko Kawauchi. This year also marks a major announcement for the studio: after more than 20 years as Charlotte Rowe Garden Design, the practice has now become Kawauchi Rowe Garden and Landscape Design, reflecting the longstanding creative partnership between Tomoko Kawauchi and Charlotte Rowe, whose elegant gardens are defined by sensitive, immersive planting.

Nth Degree made its Chelsea debut last year with a five-star stand rooted in subtle Mediterranean influences. For 2026 the team have taken that idea further, building on the warm, understated mood and turning it into something more immersive. The stand is structured around a series of pale, softly rendered archways and defined zones of seating and dining, with layered planting threaded throughout. Rather than displaying the furniture, the idea is to embed it in a fully considered outdoor space where every element works together.

For us, it's a brilliant showcase for two stones that don't always get to share the spotlight. Buscot Limestone in the etched finish forms the main paving, laid in standard and bespoke widths. It's a calm, pale stone with a gently textured surface that softens in the light, and at this scale it gives the stand a proper sense of structure without feeling heavy.

Running alongside it are four square metres of our Castilan Klinkers in the tumbled finish. The klinkers bring a warmer, more worn-in character and help tie the stonework into the timber decking, the gravel and the planting around it. The two together feel considered and lived-in, which is very much the Nth Degree brief.

Hamish, our founder, put it nicely in the press pack: "Chelsea Flower Show is one of the great showcases for the relationship between design and the natural world, so to have our stone featured in Nth Degree's stand is a real honour."

We couldn't agree more. Do come and see the stand if you're visiting Chelsea this year. We think it's going to be one of the quiet highlights of the show.
