Brooklyn-based design team Workstead design responsible works that create a sense of place for both the objects they contain and the people that experience them.  Their palette is strong and rich, yet simple and efficient.  And it gets better … Workstead are bringing their industrial lighting to the UK via Another Country.  So don't hang around here, go see more of their simply stunning creations here.

miscellany #2

Hello there again. Just some more images of a few favourites we've previously featured. There's a pleasing mix of textures and materials here - and a couple of flying chairs thrown in for good measure as we're quite partial of that photograph with the chaps playing cards and smoking cigars!

back to basics

Another Country makes contemporary craft furniture and their first collection, Series One, takes familiar forms and pares them back to their most basic elements.  The whole collection is based on the concept of a family of pieces that have grown out of the design of the stool - all tops are of a similar thickness and design, all legs are mounted at the same angle to the horizontal plane and all the heights are consistent.  The overall concept is to be able to sit, eat, sleep and share one's space with pieces that are tactile, beautiful, timeless and that will age gracefully.

Our favourite, the super stylish Day Bed One is a practical piece of furniture upholstered in an understated yet classical fabric from Bute, the Scottish contemporary textile manufacturer.
