My design London: founder of The White Company, Chrissie RuckerChrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company, let's us in on the secrets of her favourite interiors shop, a 17th-century Italian pharmacy, and tells us why she always looks up when in London...

Chrissie Rucker launched The White Company in 1994 from her boyfriend’s spare room with a 12-page brochure, after she tried and failed to find good-quality, well-priced white bed linen. Three years later, married with a newborn, she launched The Little White Company when she had just as much trouble finding decent white baby clothes.
