Furniture for River Island
One of the most exciting projects recently undertaken has been some exciting work for River Island. I have been proud to supply a variety of pieces which are now taking centre stage in some of the company's flagship Rive Studio stores across the UK. Below are a pair of gorgeous Bentley arm chairs set off with a fantastic Rolls Royce V8 table. Also supplied were a lovely pair of Maserati 3200GT armchairs!
A new Bentley piece, especially for a Lincoln-based car showroom
Among my recent commissions a highlight has been building a set of furniture for Car Trader Ltd, a car showroom in Lincoln. This commission was based around the seats from a Bentley Turbo R and then a V8 coffee table to complete the look. The seats were mounted on bespoke gunmetal grey frames and then finished off with solid brushed aluminium trims. If you like what you see and want one of your own then please feel free to contact me. |
Autumn is very much here...step inside and warm up!
I always think that seeing furniture in some sort of context really helps. With things turning cold and wintry outside how about a cosy interior to warm up in? In the photos above there are a number of pieces, all unique and handmade by vee8design. The grey chair is supremely comfortable, as it should be, given it used to live in a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud! The two tables are both V8 derived, the white coffee table is built around a 3.9 litre block while the side table uses the crank from the same engine. All these pieces are available now or if you would like something similar but a little (or a lot!) different please contact me!
Been watching the new Top Gear programmes?
Anyone been watching closely on the new series of Extra Gear on BBC3? Then you'll have spotted the new furnishings on set...
One vee8design sofa and armchair from a BMW E46 leather interior and one tyre-stack glass-top table. An industrial look, which I'm very proud to have been commissioned to make for the Top Gear production team! |

One of the most interesting recent projects was a V12 based table.... Completely bespoke and built around a Mercedes engine this table not only functions as a stunning dining table, big enough for three, but will also break down and convert into coffee table. Designed especially for a customer who was planning a house move and wanted the table to work in their current and future residence!
The last big event of 2015 was the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham. A long three days but great to here so many positive comments about the furniture on the stand.
Work for River Island...London Fashion Week and more!
