A very big house in the country

We were very pleased to be commissioned by Alex James, Blur bassist, to produce two coffee tables for his beautiful country home. Both PANTS and the ORGASM sit very happily amidst Alex and Claire's clever mix of old and new, creating a feel that is relaxed and stylish.

Well-known as an exponent of the arts, Alex is now helping to highlight the Arts Council's Own Art Scheme, which promotes contemporary British art and craft.

On tour with Alan Partridge

PANTS took centre stage with Steve Coogan's 2008 live show, "Steve Coogan is Alan Partridge & Other Less Successful Characters"

Touring throughout the UK, the second half of the show starred the infamous Alan Partridge vainly attempting to run a motivational seminar. Steve commissioned the PANTS table to feature as part of Alan's stage set. The pure white PANTS table sits alongside two giant hand armchairs to form a mock studio set, where Alan conducts one of his trademark cringe-worthy interviews.

  
 
PANTS stars in Waterloo Road

The BBC series, Waterloo Road, will feature a custom-made PANTS.

Commissioned as part of the living room set for one of the show's characters, the PANTS table was finished in glossy macassar laminate, with a striking gold centre. (See gallery page). It was the first of its kind to use a metal laminate, opening up a whole new realm of possibilities for metal finishes such as stainless steel and glossy chrome.

The new series goes to air in January 2009

100% Recycled

We have been developing a range of funky outdoor furniture, made from 100% recycled plastic.

Robust, UV resistant and weatherproof, the plastics are recycled in the UK from waste products such as yoghurt pots, kids wellies and fridge linings. The Aaah bench, shown here, will be our first production piece. It will be available in a variety of colours and patterns.

We are looking forward to experimenting with such an environmentally sound material.

Orgasm reaches dizzy heights!

John-Paul's latest coffee table design, The ORGASM, was released in March 2008.

The collectible first edition of a limited run of 300 created an international storm when it was auctioned on ebay.com. The sale closed at a staggering $27,000. The table was bought by an anonymous buyer, who reportedly sold it on at a profit, a few months later, to an arts collector.
