Lowry London

Free Back Chair

The Free Back Chair is constructed from ash which has been scorched to turn it a jet black colour. This wood provides an extremely strong strength to weight ratio meaning the chair is very light but also very stable.

As the name suggests, the chair is constructed in such a way that the back is ‘floating’ – it is supported by the front legs and so does not require the back legs to rise up through the seat. The legs are tapered and shaped with an increasing chamfer which creates a feeling of elegance in the piece. The back and seat are pure white tanned–leather which is very durable and creates a stark contrast to the frame. The joinery consists of through and double tenons which ensure the joints remain true and are up to the apical standards of all Lowry London works.

Paper Plastic – Side Tables

First shown as part of the Future Heritage collection at Decorex, the Paper Plastic pieces create unique shapes by using paper infused with plastic which is ‘cast’ from the inside out and sets rapidly to create very strong, very light forms.

Merge Table

The MergeTable began from observing the way people use coffee tables these days. One of the most important functions of the table is often to put feet up. In today’s world, one also often only needs a surface large enough to hold a laptop or tablet. From that observation, the MergeTable was born. I decided to try and make two separate tables for the two functions identified into one piece – a comfortable leather cushioned part for feet and legs, and a concrete surfaced section for working.
