Eborcraft has demonstrated its adaptability for the SoHo (small office, home office) sector with this unusual desk and storage configuration. The client had a complex design brief due to the room layout and electrical installations, so Eborcraft needed to incorporate a series of cut-outs and overhangs, normally only accommodated by a bespoke project. By using standard units from its Minster executive range, Eborcraft was able to  adapt the design to provide the storage and work area specified, but at an…

The bOne chair from JDF Raum und Kunst was inspired by the human bone structure. Designed to be light and stable, the chair itself mimics our bone structure, while the upholstery cylinders mimic our skin cells and conform to the individual’s unique ergonomics. The frame can be made from metal or wood with laser burnt holes for the foam cylinder upholstery to fit into; their own tension fixes them firmly into place without the need for fasteners. The upholstery can…

Recently shown at New Designers, the Sheetfield armchair by Will Soper will now feature at the London Met MA show during the London Design Festival. Inspired by traditional Chesterfield furniture, with the aim of combining two contrasting materials, the Sheetfield was made using cold aluminium for the frame and warm Alma leather for the upholstery.

Established by Scottish designer Kenneth Topp, Bronzino artisans create hand-made containers from solid copper and zinc. Neptune and Nautilus, pictured, are formed by hammering hot metal and then tin-plating it, resulting in a finish like old silver. They can be used indoors and outdoors, and thanks to their lightness are ideal for use on roof terraces and balconies. Bronzino will be launching scaled up and miniature versions of some of their designs at Decorex. www.bronzino.co.uk

Beau McClellan produces high-end lighting products such as those found within their Reveal collection. The outer glass of the Reveal table light has only 70 percent of its surface coated and can be rotated 360 degrees by a unique turning system at its base. This in turn exposes the unfiltered light through the light bar, directing a stronger light source where required and preventing unwanted fingerprint marks. At night, Reveal transforms into an ambient light. www.beaumcclellan.com
