DANISH INSPIRED ...



We had a visit last week from furniture designer and maker Liam Treanor. He came to have a good look around our warehouse for ideas and inspiration.

We both have a passion for mid century Danish design, particularly Finn Juhl and Arne Jacobsen.

The Arne Jacobsen Ant chairs and Egg table (Myran) suite is a wonderful example of design from this period, combining intricate production techniques with amazing materials to create a simple yet beautiful design.


(This suite is available on our website)

One of my favourite pieces from this era is Finn Juhl's Chieftain chair. I haven't found one yet, or even come close for that matter but one day I would love to own one.


You can really see the Danish influence in Liam's designs, have a look at the Alvar Aalto inspired Carabao chair at - www.liamtreanor.co.uk
