Fonteyn midcentury-style desk by Steuart Padwick for Made.com

Posted on | Leave a comment

Font

Regular readers might recall that we recently featured the Fonteyn dressing table, which was available at Made.com. Well, that same site has a variation on the theme in the form of this Fonteyn desk by Steuart Padwick.

Another exclusive to the online design site, it's one of the coolest desks we've seen for a long time. Taking the midcentury era for inspiration, the Fonteyn desk is made of oak and walnut, with those tapered legs mixing it with the curved of the actual desk, finished off with a couple of drawers and a clear lacquer to show off the grain of the wood. Perfect for letter writing or a laptop we think.

The full price is £1,100, but as ever, if you order within the limited period at Made.com, you get get it for much, much less. How much? £279 if you order in the next six days.

Fielding sofa from Made.com

Fielding_3-seater_sofa_grey_herringbone_lightbox12
This Fielding sofa from Made.com looks like its been influenced by Florence Knoll's classic 1954 sofa. 

The Knoll sofa has inspired many high street interpretations (take a look at this Ikea number or this one from Love Your Home For Less) and no wonder when the design still looks so sleek and contemporary. This three-seater sofa has the straight lines and buttoned back that hark back to the 50s original. 

The price of this one stands up pretty well to its competitors: the sofa costs £999 for leather finish, or £599 for the grey herringbone upholstery pictured.

Juke armchair from Made.com

Posted on | Leave a comment

Jay_armchair_oatmeal_sack_hessian_lightbox_1

We've featured a number of homewares recently that look like they've been made by re-using old sacks, this Juke armchair from Made.com takes that trend one step further with the entire upholstery looking like it's been made from wheat sack.

Despite its appearances, the makers claim the upholstery is apparently very comfortable. It's been custom made especially for the chair which, with its curved arms and tapered legs, takes its inspiration from the 1920s. It's a slightly odd mix of classic shape and nontraditional fabric. If that look appeals to you, remember that – like all Made.com products – it comes with a long waiting time, in this case eight to ten weeks. 

The chair costs £499.

Odin chairs at Made.com

Odin chairs
More retro furniture from Made.com, this time the mid-century style Odin chairs.

The design of the chair seems to combine elements from other classic chairs: that chair back, for example, looks a bit like the Arne Jacobsen Ant chair, while the seat is like that on the Ercol Butterfly chair. Whatever the individual influences, the overall look is definitely classic mid-century. 

They're part of Made.com's Nordic collection, referencing Scandinavian design. The chairs are made from plywood with a walnut veneer and have chrome steel legs. They arrive requiring assembly. 

As always with Made.com, there's a long wait for the chairs to be made and delivered but that's reflected in the price – in this case a very reasonable £139 for the pair.

There's a male and a female variation – see the male over the page. Both are similar though, with the single-speed bike boasting a leather (adjustable) saddle, steel frame, dynamo power for the retro lights, caliper brakes, stand and that staple of a vintage bike, a bell. It's also made by a company with over 60 years of bike-building experience too.

Like all Made.com products, they're made to order based on you getting in before a deadline. As I write, that deadline is just over two days away, so if you want one, get in now for that discounted price of £169, as opposed to the hgh street price of £539.
