The Spiro chair design utilizes the controlled precision of modern technology and materials without being defined by them. The main form of the chair is constructed in Corian – a material that can be milled flat and heat formed, whilst ensuring minimal loss of detail from complex patterns or waste of material through the manufacturing process. The legs are bent stainless steel and assembled by hand.
The engraved artwork is inspired by the parametric equation of the hypotrochoid (commonly known as the ‘spriograph’), but the manufacturing technique used to construct the body of the chair allows for maximum customization through CAM, to suite any environment.

The UNBEWEAVEABLE wingback chair is inspired by threshold living such as occurs in California and other similar climates; designed to sit happily in both indoor and outdoor environments. The form is informed by the Victorian wingback contemporized by a bent stainless frame. Hand knitted polypropylene rope reminiscent of a hammock is woven to the frame creating a suspended seat. The scale and privacy of this oversized wingback allows two people to entwine within, enveloped in the tactile gossamer surface.

The M Chaise is a multifunctional piece of furniture. Its inspiration is drawn from the declining etiquette of formal upright sitting in contemporary society.

The faceted nature of the M allows a person to sit, recline or lie in a multitude of positions and orientations and it allows multiple users to sit directly opposite each other. An internally hidden steel structure allows the 6” thick seat to span the 84” between the legs, giving the appearance that the chaise is hovering over the aluminum legs.
