190-192 Sloane Street

190-192 Sloane Street, also known as the Sekers Building, is a Grade II listed building on Sloane Street, London at the junction with Harriet Street.

Design

[edit]

The building was designed by the architects Brett and Pollen, primarily partner Harry Teggin, for the Cadogan Estate, and completed in 1965.[1] The interiors were designed by Dennis Lennon, with fittings by the sculptor Robert Adams, but do not survive.[1]

Sekers era

[edit]

The ground floor showrooms were originally occupied by Sekers Fabrics, the British fabric manufacturer founded by Nicholas Sekers.[1]

The company, based in Whitehaven, Cumbria, was awarded the Duke of Edinburgh prize for elegant design in 1962, 1965 and 1973, and a Royal warrant was awarded as suppliers of furnishing fabric to Her Majesty the Queen. In 1964, they established their London showroom at 190-192 Sloane Street.[1]
