John Reeves Furniture
Born in England, John Reeves is an internationally recognised award winning designer whose passion lies in working locally and regionally on an interactive level where design is not just communicated but felt. In doing so, John Reeves has honed a particular and pragmatic skill base; travelling, living and adapting to the various cultures and peoples he meets when working with the craftspeople of our planet. These travels not only establish a better understanding of global resources but also the relevance a design can have to our global environment; creating and perhaps rediscovering unique ties directly between makers, designer and buyers; having a hand in each of the processes allows for an undiluted and “real” conduit from production to the end user with genuine responsibility and accountability.
"On a social level, I believe the people of the world are currently seeking a stronger engagement and understanding of real feeling and emotion, an integrated harmony between supply, need and so called demand, not just a “feel good factor” through retail therapy. Perhaps we are seeking a Romantic appreciation of the things that we’ve lost or forgotten or failed to appreciate, something that can, perhaps, be compared to charm through rediscovering the simple side of life."

Out & Out Original
Out & Out Original is a new online furniture brand launched by two British brothers who became tired of inexpensive but poorly made and underwhelming design. In typical British entrepreneurial fashion these two young challengers decided to take to the drawing board, and with the help of some exceptional designers and talented design companies sourced from around the globe, have created an entire collection of furniture and accessories that comprise over 100 new and unique designs for the British home!
Be a part of the journey which only began with the launch of the company 1st April 2013. We chose this date because that is the day that the younger brother at 20 years old left on his journey to Vietnam to pursue furniture manufacturing and design, seven years later that energy and experience has been brought back to the UK with a determination to give the British consumer designer products at the best possible prices.

Quality and honesty is at the forefront of their work and all made-to-order pieces are individually produced by the designers’ own fair hands in the London studio.
Brown and Herd hold a broad range of experience within the design industry. Prior to establishing Room 9, Brown won the acclaimed position of Designer In Residence at the Design Museum in London and the duo have exhibited their work at international shows within the UK, France, Korea and at Milan. The duo’s expertise extends from hands-on manufacturing and production through to interior design, exhibitions and consultancy. The pair frequently fulfil requests for bespoke commissions alongside developing the core Room 9 furniture collection.

Their playful consideration for processes, materials, form, function and colour creates pieces that are instilled with the designers’ unrelenting enthusiasm; pieces that bring joy to any home.
S2dio
S2dio tells a story of the amazing journey its products take during their life from their humble beginnings of simple raw materials to decorating some of the finest homes in the country. The team at S2dio have over 20 years of experience in furniture production and have one of the finest collections of FSC Recycled Teak furniture in the world. Incredibly, every S2dio Recycled Teak table has been 'upcycled' from teak used as the base construction for thousands of traditional Indonesian houses that are being replaced by more modern housing complexes as the country continues its journey of economic expansion and prosperity.
The Recycled Teak is then FSC certified as it is not taken from the worlds forests but instead is recycled into furniture for your home. Some of the Teak tables come from houses that are up to 100 years old so you are not only buying an Out & Out Original but actually buying a piece of history from the opposite side of the globe - each one is delicately unique with subtle markings from the old mortise and tenon joints used to construct the houses in the absence of modern construction techniques.
Where S2dio excels is in its ability to combine this incredible Recycled Teak story with the best quality outdoor artificial wicker there is. The wicker fibres are extruded using high quality resin polymers that are UV stabilised and hold a 5 year guarantee against snapping and all the S2dio cushions are made using water resistant fabric ideal for outdoors.
S2dio prides itself on quality products that will stand the test of time and there is no better alternative than to use Recycled Teak that has already accomplished that in its previous life!
