All our pieces have a story and concept, almost like a sculpture. I hope they bring a point of interest to someone’s home as well as being a functional piece of furniture.

I love creating something new, something that has never existed before. Although there have been millions of chairs created, there are always new concepts to explore.

It changes on almost a daily basis, today it’s the ‘Aluminiumfåtölj’ by Mats Theselius.

In the simplest of things, whether its a walk on the beach or the streets of London. They’re two polar opposites but I love the sculptures of Tom Sachs and Richard Serra, one whose work is built through found objects to create the sculptures, and the other minimal, but both have a personal story and raw honesty about their work.

This is the toughest part, flipping between wearing the different hats of running a design business. But I try to allot time in the week for different areas of the business, whether its developing new designs or catching up on Xero (the most boring part).

I recently read Axel Vervoordt’s book ‘Stories & Reflections’ which is a beautiful book full of anecdotes from his life and career, which is obviously hugely inspiring. Prior to lockdown, I visited The Modernity showroom at 14 Cavendish Square, London, which is full of the most incredible furniture in a beautiful setting.

Hopefully 50/50, comfortable sculptures!

So that we can get a grasp of the form and proportions of a piece.

It has to be Axel Vervoordt!
