Initially operating from home offices, the business soon moved to design studios in Wolverhampton, working with interior designers & architects specialising in the Leisure & Hospitality sector.
As furniture designers and manufacturers, we were able to offer our design expertise to deliver bespoke upholstery solutions for a wide range of bars, restaurants and hotels in the UK.
For this retrospective, we’ve selected a few projects to illustrate the breadth of bespoke furniture styles manufactured and installed by the company during the Noughties.
The design work for these projects often inspired the creation of standard products for our expanding furniture
portfolio as shown below:
c200 sloop – Tonic, Nottingham
The c200 sloop design has an extensive range of seating styles which take a playful look at angles and counterpoints with presence and understated simplicity.
s250 modal – Wig & Pen, Sheffield
The s250 modal range is an upholstered low easy side chair and armchair set on a rod skid base, 4-prong swivel base. The design features optional fix seat & back or loose seat & back cushions with retro button detailing.
s200 lotus – Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury
The s200 lotus chair has an enveloping upholstered form which creates distinctive look in either group settings or used individually as a statement piece.
c130 retro – South East Essex College, Southend-on-Sea
The c130 retro is an upholstered, non-stacking dining chair using a preformed plywood shell set on a simple, robust, bright chrome frame to complement the minimal styling of the seat.
