BERNARD

A luxurious sit for both domestic and contract interiors, the range is available as a two or three seat sofa, corner unit and chair with matching coffee table. Co-ordinating with the BERNARD range of upholstery, the table has an oak top and brushed stainless steel base. By Simon Pengelly I started making furniture in my father's workshop when I was eight, going on to win national competitions for cabinet making. The practical experience and an affinity with materials and processes, gained from an early age, are central to my design work and service. Understanding materials and manufacturing techniques is fundamental to my approach, combined with a passionate desire to create accessible production furniture with 'soul'. Understanding manufacturing culture and possessing knowledge of these companies markets is the only way to effectively work with manufacturers. www.pengellydesign.com
