Celebrating a 10th anniversary with a life partner is a big deal but reaching a decade in a boutique furniture design and manufacturing business is arguably even more of an achievement. Mr and Mrs Ward know that better than most.

This November, interior designer Janice Kumar­-Ward and husband Julian Ward, a cabinetmaker whose family have owned and operated a furniture ­making factory since the 1980s, will mark that occasion by releasing 10 new designs under their eponymously named Mr & Mrs Ward label.
