At Last Affordable Designer Furniture

Matthew hilton and paul newman

Just a quick note from me today because I thought this would definitely interest you all, I saw a post on The Independent about a couple of designers, Matthew Hilton and Paul Newman, who have got together to connect high street furniture shops and real design talents. Most of the current batch produced ‘affordable’ furniture is designed by faceless companys who dont so much design furniture as throw together what spare materials they happen to have around.

It looks like it could be a big step forward in getting real designer furniture at affordable prices, imagine walking into a shop and seeing sofas designed by Robin Day and then realising you could actually afford it as well! Amazing!

Recycled Cardboard Furniture

Some more global warming inspired furniture for you all today with a little video showing you had to make a cardboard chair.

I’m sure I could knock something similar up, although it does raise some issues with waterproofing and fireproofing.

More Funky Furniture

As you know I like my furniture funky, but I also like my funky furniture to be a bit retro! Here are 3 of my favourite retro styles;

First off is the ever so iconic bubble chair. Always a winner and heavily in fashion again at the moment.

Then of course there is the American style diner table and chairs
