Bought an amazing clock from Ben, It caught my eye the first time I saw it and I was over the moon to be able to add to my collection. I have a number of clocks that I’ve collected over the years and I only purchase clocks that are outstanding which this one is. Ben was super helpful with full explanations of how it works and delivery and set up, I would strongly recommend his products to anyone who is interested in making this investment.

They say a room is a memory of the person who lives there. Some people want beige; I prefer to live with art and objects. Each tells a story and marks a moment in time. But the space has to be for living too, so my dilemma was how to incorporate a TV and speakers into a room filled with a lifetime of collecting. The Georgians didn’t have televisions, just as they didn’t have coffee tables, so I’ve never endorsed creating a falsely historic pastiche. Technology, in my view, has to sit proud-it is what it is. My first project with Ben was a media wall. Commissioning something bespoke is daunting; you never quite know whether you’ll be in tune. You want black text; some designers only want to give it in pink. With Ben, that concern evaporated. He listens, has an instinctive sensitivity to both material and context, and a good eye. Ben executed the media wall in aerospace-grade taupe leather-an indulgent finish more commonly found in luxury aviation than in residential interiors. The result was refined without ever feeling ostentatious. A few years later, I asked Ben to solve a very different problem: how to display a set of museum-quality marble slabs in the same space. This was less about form than function. Dated to the 17th century, the 8 deep bas-reliefs, each depicting Roman gods in chariots and inspired by engravings by Pietro Santi Bartoli, were heavy. Purchased indulgently during lockdown, they had spent 5 years wrapped in blankets because I simply couldn’t see how they could be displayed safely or elegantly. Drawing inspiration from a solution I had seen in the Louvre, Ben designed discreet powder-coated steel frames capable of supporting their weight without stealing a moment's attention from the artwork itself -and thankfully without bringing my walls down. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a designer who understands when to intervene, when to hold back, and how to make problems disappear quietly.

One of the best artists in the country incredible skills, eye to detail and craftsmanship in everything he does. Stunning bespoke pieces that elevate any interiors. Delighted to have his work at Silverstone circuit as part of the collection of Artworks within a highly curated rotating art gallery within Escapade Silverstone. Thank you Ben

The Art Agency gallery held our first show with Ben Rousseau this week in our Cobham gallery which was a great success. Ben's Kiss My Art, his Art my Car and his Timepieces are a wonderful addition to our gallery and we look forward to sharing his great designs with more of our clients.

In designing my dining room we wanted to have a playful polished space, and the Tempus clock was a perfect finishing touch. Our blue walls compliment the brass hardware and we love the colorful lights that display the time. We get so many compliments! Very easy to order, Install and set up.
