Sebastian + Barquet
Modernist furniture is making a comeback in Mayfair - and we're not talking the Ikea sales. Sebastian + Barquet opened on Bruton Place with their show 'New Hope', bringing classic design pieces from the era of Arne Jacobsen back to the fore. Since the great hopes of finance have disappointed us, the new hope of old design may well do instead.

Q
I am growing increasingly worried about the effect of inflation on my portfolio, following the recent announcement that the CPI has risen sharply to 3.5%. What is the likelihood of significant inflation in the coming year and what strategies should I put in place to plan for this?
A
Firstly, it is important to note that inflation and deflation can co-exist within an economy. The CPI only indicates the net inflation/deflation. However, investors need to know what parts of the economy are inflating and what parts are deflating as this decides whether there is net wealth creation or net wealth destruction.
