Interview with Ashley Thornton, furniture and interior designer. Age 25. Comes from Huddersfield.

What does Domane do?
Did you always plan to do this?
Why did you set up your own business?
We talked about it when we were at university. We could see that there was nowhere in Leeds for the public to buy good modern furniture, that people were really interested in their homes and in interior design but that the idea of approaching an interior designer could be intimidating. We just wanted to make good design accessible. However, after graduating I went to work in the interiors department of a firm of architects in London.
So how did Domane come about so quickly?
And the business has grown?
What do you like most about what you do?
Anything negative about it?
Any advice?
Do you look forward to work every day?
