Co-founder behind Andrew Martin, the internationally renowned design brand, Martin Waller has earned the nickname “Indiana Jones” for his curiosity about life beyond our British borders.

Just one glance at his Walton Street showroom of treasures, complete with rhino sculptures and Amazonian-inspired fabrics, makes it clear that travel is at the very heart of his design ethos.

He even set up the Andrew Martin International Interior Design of the Year Awards – now dubbed the Oscars of the design sphere – in 1996 to give recognition to talent around the world.
