Daughter of famed interior designer David Hicks and the Lady Pamela Hicks, whose father was Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India and a grandson of Queen Victoria, India Hicks clearly grew up at the nexus of two of imposing worlds - monarchy and design. David Hicks is well known for his exacting style and personality.  Per Mr. Hicks 1998 obituary in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/02/world/david-hicks-69-interior-design-star-of-the-60-s-is-dead.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>, ' "He killed every flower in his soul,'' said Min Hogg, editor of the trend-setting British magazine The World of Interiors, referring to the designer's hatred of chintz. ''His was a rigorous, very tailored look. So much of it was about control. There wasn't a wrinkle or crease anywhere.''

Founded in 1892 in the heart of Germany, Poggenpohl is the oldest and one of the best-known kitchen brands in the world - present in more than 70 countries around the globe. Since then, they have followed in the footsteps of founder, Friedemir Poggenpohl, with his vision to ‘improve the kitchen’.  For 120 years, Poggenpohl has been reinventing life in the kitchen one idea at a time.  Poggenpohl was the first to introduce many transformative innovations including white lacquer furniture,  the first wooden kitchen, and the first island kitchen. Can you imagine a time when islands weren't done in kitchens?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.poggenpohl.com/uploads/tx_pphistory/1892_01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.poggenpohl.com/uploads/tx_pphistory/1892_01.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">1892 Poggenpohl kitchen furniture</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.poggenpohl.com/uploads/tx_pphistory/1892_17.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.poggenpohl.com/uploads/tx_pphistory/1892_17.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">1892 - how cute is this?
