We’ve invited a number of interior design practices to design their own unique furniture range and have selected a piece from each of the collections to develop. The collection designs and prototypes will be exhibited in our showroom at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour.
From first sketches, development and choosing unique materials, you’ll be able to follow the whole journey of making a bespoke piece of furniture.
