anthony hartley cable chair<a href="http://www.anthonyhartley.com/#!bespoke-collection/cdcd" target="_blank"> Anthony Hartley's </a>colorful designs are hard to miss, and we've fallen in love with his <a href="http://www.anthonyhartley.com/#!cable/c2271" target="_blank">Cable Collection.</a> This design gives 'flat packed' and DIY furniture a fresh new look and method, as Anthony introduces us to the cable-tie joint. You get to choose the component color combinations and can swap them around anytime by simply cutting through the table ties & replacing. Hopefully this means there is less excuse for throwaway furniture as styles and tastes change. <p> <strong><a href="http://www.anthonyhartley.com/#!bespoke-collection/cdcd" target="_blank">+ Anthony Hartley</a></strong>6
Sebastian Cox<a href="http://sebastiancox.co.uk" target="_blank">Sebastian Cox </a>reminded us of the importance of the wood source in his well-crafted furniture pieces that use locally grown hazel wood that the designer himself has copiced when harvesting the wood. Coppicing is a woodland management method that provides a renewable supply of wood. <strong><a href="http://sebastiancox.co.uk" target="_blank">+ Sebastian Cox </a></strong>7
