The great advantage of this is it gives more of a one stop shop for the products for the library and it fills a...Read more

Another new supplier that we are looking forward to working with is Studio Lawrence. The "To Gather" seating and "Along These Lines" wall and partition hanging are inspirational and the flexibility of the table systems ties in fantastically on our preference for flexibility in furniture. 

Studio Lawrence's Patrick de Louwere and Bart Eijking are now living in London and you may well have seen articles about them and their products in some of the interiors magazines. Publicity so far...Read more
