Description / Expertise
One of these chairs was shown at The Cabinet-makers’ Guild Exhibition in 1959 “The best pieces in the exhibition were undoubtedly the ones which resulted from a long standing collaboration between cabinetmaker and designer ….. the chair deserving special mention” A beautifully proportioned chair, not only based on aesthetic judgement but also comfortable, influenced by the functional requirements of the human anatomy.
