Chairs and barstools for Philippe Starck

Some years ago at a Bodging Project event for Heal's on Tottenham Court Road, I designed and made a new chair - here it is at Ex Ansaldo in Milan. The chair ended up taking the name Tottenham Court Mod to differentiate it from another piece from the same event which was a rocker (ie mods and rockers). Later I made a barstool version and, with the additional comfort of an adzed (hollowed) seat, the chair and stool went into production.

The market for these really is bars, hotels and restaurants. I was delighted that both chair and stool caught the eye of the Philippe Starck Studio in Paris, who now specify them for projects across France. I've struggled a bit with all the Brexit nonsense, but things are settling down and we've recently fulfilled a large order for the roof terrace at Villa M - a hotel and restaurant on the Boulevard Pasteur which is spectacularly clad in a vertical wall of plants.
