Deco is certainly the mode of the moment and the new collection takes inspiration from the work of French designers of the 1930s and 1940s. But it is a new technique using acrylic and mirrored surfaces with walnut which makes the collection 21st century, using earlier designs as a reference point rather than something to copy.
This combination of traditional craftsmanship and an intriguing use
of modern methods playing with light and transparency puts the collection happily into a classic or contemporary setting.
From the Salon Collection the cabinet shown here costs £13,500.
