A nice modern desk


From the website:
"Our furniture is still made to the highest standards; our factories in Scandinavia still exercise the same, time honoured, craft skills they used way back then. The result is furniture you can be just as proud to own, made just for you.

My staff here in London still have skills such as polishing, cabinet making and upholstery that they learnt from their own fathers and are delighted to use them, now, for you.


I have many many customers who come into our Danish furniture stores and tell me about the furniture they bought from my father back in the 1960s which is still in daily use and looks as good as when they took delivery over 40 years ago.

If you decide to join this special 'club' and buy furniture from us now, I hope you'll be able to say the same to my children in 40 years from now."

Designer of the week...

Pablo Pardo. About ten years ago a lamp by Pablo began appearing in hip restaurants in San Francisco and New York. Composed of a tear-drop, cast aluminum body and a sandblasted shade, the Sophie Lamp turned an ordinary table top into a dreamscape for intimate conversations. Coming from a family of designers, the work of Venezuelan-born Pablo Pardo is deceptively simple, often made from no more than a couple of materials, beautifully crafted and devoid of superflous details. Once in use, however, Pablo’s lamps take on a new character that is much more experiential than simply visual. It is the experience rather than the look of an object that Pablo sought in his designs.

The MAY DAY lamp

Konstantin Grcic was born in Munich, Germany in 1965. After training as a cabinet maker at Parnham College in England he studied design at the Royal College of Art in London from 1988-1990. Since setting up his own design practice KONSTANTIN GRCIC INDUSTRIAL DESIGN (KGID) in Munich in 1991 he has developed furniture, products and lighting for some of Europe's leading design companies such as AGAPE, AUTHENTICS, CLASSICON, DRIADE, FLOS, IITTALA, KRUPS, LAMY, MAGIS, MOORMANN, MOROSO, MUJI, PLANK, SCP, THOMAS/ROSENTHAL. Konstantin Grcic creates industrial products widely described as pared down, simple, minimalist. What sets him apart from the minimalism in fashionalble currency today is that he defines function in human terms, combining maximum formal strictness with considerable mental acuity and humor.

Take A Line For A Walk

Häberli brings out the communication abilities of the object and the emotional bond which it can create: the chair draws on an archaic yet extremely modern visual force which recalls the idea of a cocooning, motherly comfort, with the big ears which can be wrapped around the head in search of protection or isolation from the surrounding environment. Steel frame, covered with flame-retardant polyurethane foam.
