Chester, the edition piece, is a somewhat lateral interpretation of the classic Chesterfield sofa, using traditional upholstering techniques with springs, horsehair and a buttoned leather skin to create a soft, feminine form.
 
Chester, the production piece, can be used as both a chaise and a sofa. The form is a soft bean shape that has been smoothed and sculpted to emphasise reflections. Low slung and constructed in two parts, the sleek fibreglass base is in contrast to the upholstered cushion insert.
 
Drift is inspired by a piece of driftwood, or a line that has drifted backwards. It can be used as a bench or a table. It is made in two alternative materials; with a polished concrete finish or a layered timber construction to emphasis the natural grain. Drift came about after thinking of the bench as a line that has gently drifted backwards.
