A range of furniture based on an easily translatable construction method of common angles and joints. The simple bench seats are supplemented by a range of add-on back rests and side tables.
The range includes wing-tables, long bench tables in lengths from 3- 5 meters, a portable DJ stand and a competition size ping pong table. Cushions designed for the range take their dimensions from the benches and are intended to be layered up to create pools of padding on the bench top surface.
Materials – Ash, Formica laminate and powder coated mild steel tube.
BENCH SEATS AND THINGS
Materials- Mahogany and white paint.
Clothes rail for the Bread and Butter conference in Berlin.
The piece was designed as a prop for their nautical inspired collection- ‘Modern Classics’.
BEN SHERMAN
A table range designed and made while based in China, taking reference from commonly found work stools with simple tenon joint construction.
The tables were made with a local workshop and rely upon the carpenter’s skills to build accurate joinery that can be push-fitted together without nails or glue. The range was conceived for the design studio set up whilst working on the Kobold Project.
HAND MADE IN CHINA
A cluster of tables made by the intervening with the common industrial processes of tube bending and CNC cutting. Small changes in the usual way elements are joined together creates branch like hooks and table tops are cut in flowing pebble outlines with an edge softened by a radius.

Unlike usual modular system where elements fit together in pre-defined configurations, these tables overlap and group together, intuitively arranged and re-arranged according to the changing needs presented by use or space.
This project is one in a series of experiments looking at mass production techniques where small interventions can bring an organic or handcrafted quality to something that is made by common industrial processes.
PEBBLE TABLES
A collection of coat stands that can be spread out to create forests of branch hooks or a nested coat tree.

This project is one in a series of experiments looking at mass production techniques where small interventions can bring an organic or handcrafted quality to something that is made by common industrial processes. A twist in orientation changes the usual way steel tube is bent and cut to create branch-like hooks that grow from the central structure.
BRANCH HOOKS
Originally an environment designed for a human a snake and duck - Snuck Space has evolved into a modular living system for the home, where each section can move creating seating, work spaces and relaxing areas. The main tree form is the only stationary element, and acts as a storage device for books and other miscellaneous items.
SNUCK SPACE
With Peter Haythornthwaite.
A modular furniture system designed for flat pack and easy home assembly.
‘The p&a modular furniture system is not just any ordinary range of furniture. p&a is made from highest quality plywood making it not only visually attractive but also robust and durable. There is a p&a piece of furniture that fits all home and office requirements. Whether new or old settings, p&a is able to fit comfortably into any house due to its clean, fun, honest and classic form.
p&a furniture has been designed and made with you in mind - furnishing your thoughts.’
