OUR STORY
With a background in fashion spanning over 20 years, founder Pam has a natural draw towards materials, construction and evolving an idea into a fully layered narrative. With a love of travel, all things textural and the world of neutral simplicity, our calming design thread is clear from our creative ethos and throughout.
Fabian is a quietly stylish music lover with an extraordinary knowledge and a background in the creative arts. Working in Menswear from his formative days in South London to constructing himself as an observational artist. With an eye for design and an extensive thirst for creativity, his ability to communicate is integral to the foundations of our collective.
Partners and parents to Clyde the Frenchie, now based in Scotland, we combine our creative backgrounds to curate, develop and present to you a collection of objects that we ourselves have or would have in our own home. Design that makes our life aesthetic in the simplest of ways but most importantly less chaotic.

MODERN AND PRESENT
A curated independent destination for modern, functional design accessories, furniture, and lighting. Originally founded in 2018, our products have always been sourced to inspire a sense of simplicity and craftsmanship, with a focus on design that is made to last. With all designers and brands in our collective chosen for their shared values and ethos, aligning the highest standards of social and environmental performance and accountability.
Our founding namesake brand originated from the idea of a journey and symbolised a change of career for founder Pam. Over the past few years, the ‘Map’ name has evolved to represent the outline of our world in a more simple, visual way. Connecting our now MODERN AND PRESENT customer with our edit to fulfil a need for more considered design and tradition that lasts.
Over the past 6 years, through many challenges, our team has built a foundation and a collective across the world. Working with designers, architects, and homemakers from Stockholm to Singapore, Osaka to Orpington. Sourcing, consulting, and delivering products from across Europe, to bring projects to life.
Following us on this new chapter of our journey.
