Our True Intent Is All For Your Delight

Chatting the other day about 1950s chairs (of course) a friend at The Chair House, Mel Draycott, told me about a fantastic book on 1960s & 70s life in Britain, "Our True Intent Is All For Your Delight, The John Hinde Butlin's Photographs". 

The photos were apparently elaborately stage managed to make into postcards, with large casts of real holidaymakers acting out narrative tales of Butlin's lounges, ballrooms and Beachcomber bars. I just love the full on technicolour and the boredom of the kids, aren't they supposed to be having fun?! And of course, the furniture.....

Designed for the Tropics

For the love of chairs, its in our blood! Can't help but be impressed and super proud of the sales display put together in Singapore by none other than Nigel Mortimer (aka Dad)! We're going international and doing it in style.

The concession has just opened with a superb collection of German cocktail chairs, industrial stools, super cool lighting and other artefacts sourced in Berlin and all for sale, so if you're in Singapore be sure to check it out, its on at Dream Interiors 456 River Valley Rd for a limited period. 

Spring Greens & Orangina

The sunshine may have retreated for a few days, but these new arrivals are brightening my day! We've had a batch of 6 cocktail chairs from Germany recovered in Korla's beautiful Alhambra stars and Koi Karp fabrics, and another 12 on the way.
