Modular in nature.

Tejo, inherently modular in design. Crafted from sustainable recycled cork, natural latex, wool and hemp fabrics, Tejo presents a foam-free, environmentally conscious seating solution. Its solid cork frame, devoid of foam, plywood, or any non-recyclable materials, offers not just comfort but also peace of mind.

Sourced from responsibly managed forests in Alentejo, Portugal, cork embodies both sustainability and elegance. With a growth cycle of 25 years to maturity and the ability to be harvested every nine years without harming the tree, cork stands as a testament to nature's resilience. Tejo's production process further underscores sustainability, with minimal waste and a commitment to zero-waste practices. Much of the cork harvested today is used in the production of stoppers for the wine industry. Once the corks have been stamped out of the bark, the waste material is passed through a chipper and compacted into cork blocks.

It was the sight of the cork blocks stacked up in a Portuguese factory that triggered the preliminary idea for Tejo and their dimensions which ultimately defined the shape of the sofa, with 600mm or 900mm modules.

All offcuts and dust generated during production are returned to the chipper and turned back into cork blocks – a recursive process that makes production almost entirely zero-waste. Where conventional sofas use foam cushioning, Tejo is designed with natural latex, another self-generating material. This is wrapped in wool wadding and finally upholstered in a wool, flax or hemp fabric, completing the sustainable design ethos.

Tejo's versatility is apparent through its modular design, catering to a range of commercial spaces. From benches to single and double back-to-back sofas, each element offers different depths to suit various environments. Incorporating additional elements like planters and tables enhances its adaptability. The form of the Tejo modules is clean, minimal, and led by material and process. The distinctive cork base of each module is available fully upholstered, but can also be left exposed to reveal the natural character of the material. Modules are designed to be viewed from any angle – with no ‘back’ – further enhancing their flexibility. Screen dividers and integrated power and USB charging options further enhance its functionality, making Tejo an easy choice for any environment.

Designed for easy disassembly, part-replacement, and recycling, Tejo prioritises sustainability and longevity. Its adaptable nature extends to various spatial layouts, whether fostering collaboration in workspaces or providing privacy in lounges. With its blend of sustainability, functionality, and elegant design, Tejo represents a paradigm shift in modular seating systems, inviting users to experience comfort without compromising on the environment

Tejo table is constructed almost entirely from recycled cork waste from wine stoppers. The tinted glass top seamlessly integrates with the cork base, resting securely within a dedicated slot for a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Available in various dimensions to suit different needs, functioning as either a low coffee table or a tall side table.

Audioberry 2016

Taking inspiration from memories of the most desirable amplifiers available in formative years, the design is focussed on the volume control as the key focus of the design. By creating an over-scaled dial that would be the visual stand-out in an otherwise completely scaled back object, the simplicity of the form allows the ultra high quality sound of the amp to take centre stage.

Looking at materials outside of those traditionally used within the hi-fi market, Corian was chosen for its smooth and tactile qualities, and for its durability and purity of colour. The input sources are highlighted by back-illuminated LEDs. The Juna Amp is connected with Bluetooth and Airplay, and is compatible with all devices – tablet, smartphone, TV and network music player.

Expanding the Isomi product portfolio of desks, tables, walls, seating and storage, the new Join furniture family comprises a desk and table. Like all Isomi products, the Join pieces can be customised in various sizes, heights and finishes to suit different environments – from grand corporate lobbies and hotel reception areas to small offices and boutique retail spaces.

The new modular desk is recognisably Isomi in aesthetic: free-flowing in form, sinuously curved, and unmistakably contemporary in style.

In the wooden iteration of the Join Desk, solid machined timber in oak, ash or walnut are arranged vertically, concealing module joints and creating a seamless appearance. Subtle shadows created by the chamfered edge to the profiled timber adds visual depth, highlighting and celebrating the natural variations of the oak, ash and walnut.

Join has now been re designed to house power modules to the side of the table.

Join is a versatile modular table available in multiple sizes. The tabletop is formed from solid timber available in soaped oak, ash and walnut, supported by a timber frame clad in powder-coated or hot rolled steel (an all-timber option is also available).

The Join Table is designed to sit equally comfortably in both professional and residential settings, combining the elegance of a dining table with the functionality of a work desk. The tapered metal underside of the table can house power and data points, with wires invisibly running down the legs to floor sockets, and the modular design allows it to be expanded to fit the largest of boardrooms.

The Mono seating range is specified from a range of modular components. The elements in collection comprise a thermoformed base in solid surface and an upholstered seat.

A major interior renovation for the headquarters of the advertising agency Fold 7 in Farringdon, Central London. The work on the project, included completely reconfiguring the space and replacing the main staircase to create a new entrance and reception area, as well as designing bespoke elements including a bar, seating booths, and shelving.

The space is divided into an upper and a lower floor, which are connected by an inserted half floor level. This new half level features a sunken meeting area custom-made using Douglas fir, with seating upholstered in shades of Fold 7’s signature blue, hidden lighting and feature floor lights.

On the upper floor, the focal point of the reception area is a bespoke brass reception desk with an inset leather writing surface, behind which illuminated lettering fabricated in black outline reads ‘Welcome to the fold’. 

The meeting room is intended as a calm and proactive space, clad in grey stained oak with a flush door and frameless glazed internal windows. Simple translucent curtains can be drawn to ensure confidentiality for client pitches, if needed. 

Leading away from the reception area, the staircase is clad in pale Douglas fir and has an illuminated balustrade and recessed handrail. Suspended above the staircase is a commissioned artwork by Czech artist Michal Trpák, which again makes use of Fold 7’s brand colours.

With a curved one-piece birchwood backrest and natural latex upholstery, the MOODLight chair provides a safe and relaxed space for people to work, rest or play.

Built onto a swivel metal base, and with lights seamlessly embedded into the sweeping high backrest, MOODLight chairs afford both privacy and the opportunity to interact if desired. 

Designed to optimise bright light exposure, proven to help alleviate symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder which affects five percent people in the US and UK, while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic and high degree of functionality and comfort, MOODLight chairs are ergonomically designed with a distinctly Scandinavian influence.

Expanding the Isomi product portfolio of desks, tables, walls, seating and storage, the new Join furniture family comprises a desk and table. Like all Isomi products, the Join pieces can be customised in various sizes, heights and finishes to suit different environments.

The new modular desk is recognisably Isomi in aesthetic: free-flowing in form, sinuously curved, and unmistakably contemporary in style. Working with a slab-based natural material such as stone, however, is a significant departure for Isomi, and creating such fluid contours from such a rigid, inflexible material is a highly complex engineering challenge.

Frame is a highly flexible modular sink system in solid surface. Isomi’s aim for the concept was to make specifying a custom-made washroom product as simple as sourcing a standard sink off the shelf, balancing a high-end design aesthetic with the durability to withstand high-traffic commercial environments.

In typical Isomi style, the look of the Frame design is elegant, modern and minimalist, but the timeless simplicity of the sink’s appearance belies a tremendously wide spectrum of specifiability, with customers able to select their sink according to profile, depth and height as desired.

The collection takes its name from the fact that a secondary material finish can be introduced to ‘frame’ the sink module, creating a play between interior and exterior finishes that introduces further visual interest. For launch, Frame is available exclusively in solid surface, with different finishes available in terrazzo, concrete and solid plane colours, allowing clients to play with complementary or contrasting shades and textures.

In addition to variations in the style and dimensions of the Frame sink itself, there are also assorted options for accessories, including bins, back splash, mirrors, shelves and freestanding back-to-back island units. Taps can either be mounted on the walls above the basin or fitted into an integrated deck, and multiple-user waste systems can be installed to maximize efficiency.

This uniquely flexible system means that Frame can be adapted to meet the functional and aesthetic of almost any setting at any scale, from shared-use troughs in commercial settings to single-use basins in more intimate domestic environments.

With a minimal aesthetic, Umi offers a flexible solution for interaction points in dynamic, contemporary spaces.

Produced in solid surface with an oak worktop and integrated storage, available with castors and delivered ready to place, each piece can be relocated as spacial requirements change.

Supporting central placements, Umi benefits from a highly considered design concealing function within form.

Tone and texture contrasts are created by pairing the solid surface shell with oak storage and work surface (an all-solid surface option is also available).

Arranged vertically the ribs of the oak storage disguise hinges and break lines, concealing all functionality of the piece within the design.

With multiple viewing points Umi sits equally comfortably when placed as an individual piece or arranged in a series.

Paul Crofts Studio partnered with electric car charge point manufacturers Andersen-EV to design their P1 electric car charge point. The P1 is a floor mounted electric charge point for the home and semi-commercial properties.

The studios work on the project involved an intelligent and innovative approach to the concept and final design. The work needed to reflect Andersen’s brand values of function and high-quality design, ease of use, and innovative engineering performance within the e-mobility sector. It simultaneously had to capture an essence of home, discreet luxury and celebrate long-lasting workmanship and sustainability. 

For many, the only disappointment of going electric is found when choosing a charge point. For those who love their home as much as their electric car, choice is limited. 

For businesses that want to offer charging for their clients and workforce, the P1 is a perfect solution especially relevant to those that want to make a good impression. 

The P1 is designed to blend in with modern architecture and garden landscapes with strong references to architectural lighting as opposed to electronic housings. The aesthetic is deliberately paired back to deliver a discreet and pleasant charging experience. It has been successfully referenced to be visually in the complete opposite direction to all others on the market. And more importantly defining a new confident aesthetic in charge points as we all transition away from using petrol and diesel and move to a carbon free e-mobility society. 

The P1 has the option for dual sockets. Both sockets are hidden from view and magnetic doors allow easy access. 

Inside LED’s indicate the charge state along with intelligent courtesy lights inside the plug socket. 

The chassis is built from stainless steel and nylon coated for a durable finish. The chassis has a lifetime guarantee and fully upgradable. The front is finished in Accoya timber. 

Accoya is a modified timber wood. Frequently used in the construction of bridges, doors and cladding. This sustainably sourced high- performance timber is a perfect substrate for the P1 wood fronts.

Paul Crofts Studio has overseen a major interior renovation for the new home of Define Clinic in Beaconsfield. 

The studios work on the project, which is situated in a Grade 2 listed Property included the full refurbishment of a three story 4000 sq. ft. space.  

A significant move in the aesthetics industry will see three internationally renowned practitioners in the fields of facial aesthetics and cosmetic dentistry, come together to provide multi-disciplinary services under one roof for the first time, with the launch of Define Clinic in Beaconsfield. All from Harley Street institutions, this is not only a first for these leaders in their respective fields, but also a first for the aesthetics industry.

The aim for the interior was to create a space that represented the core values of the brand being both natural and comfortable with core design values of discretion, precision and craft. 

You enter on the ground floor through metal Crittal doors that lead into a gallery like reception space with the confident air of precision and craft.  Central to the entrance is a bespoke marble reception desk with a back drop of painted profiled timber cladding. The bespoke profiled cladding is developed in two sizes to create intimacy around the reception area and opening up in scale to the waiting areas. The linear design to the walls reflects the values of precision and definition that the clinic aspires to achieve. The perimeter walls gently curve introducing discretion and softness. Executed in solid Douglas fir timber with a white oil finish the slatted walls offer a sense of privacy yet still allowing daylight to flood through. This also integrates retail product display. The monolithic stone tile floor features an arrangement of individual armchairs and side tables allowing each client their own private space. The reception space is broken into two waiting areas each offering different levels of privacy. Corridors are clad in Solid Douglas Fir Timber planks that lead off to the treatment rooms. The consultation pods on the ground floor are clinical environments with simple grey polished plaster walls, Corian bespoke furniture and timber floors. Deliberately informal furniture is selected to create a more relaxed treatment environment. 

The original entrance hallway space doubles up as dedicated pay areas from which the clients can exit in full privacy directly to their cars.

The remaining spaces are informal with original Georgian features restored and retained to further enhance a more relaxed environment.

The space’s industrial elements are highlighted via the use of a dark grey sprayed ceiling showing exposed services, hot rolled steel shelving and utilitarian bricks at the counter. These elements are offset by earthier details such as the use of engineered bricks, wood for the herringbone floor, oak tables and timber dowel wall panelling, and the inclusion of bespoke terracotta lights, designed for the scheme by Paul Crofts Studio feature a distinctive ‘ribbed’ design which adds texture and reflects the vertical pattern of the timber dowels on the walls. 

The large counter makes use of glazed protruding bricks in white in an oversized interpretation of the traditional French gingham. Nearby, the pattern is mirrored in engineering brick flooring in two complimentary colours.

The scheme is brought to life with numerous details referencing the historic craft of Brittany. Bespoke plates were created with a designs, hand drawn by Katharine Gorham, which was inspired by Brittany’s famous ‘coiffe’ bonnets as well the region’s famous black and white stripes, and are displayed around the space.  

Brittany provided further inspiration for the restaurant’s interior in the borrowing of the black and white stripes of the ‘Gwenn-ha-du’ (the flag of Brittany) for the design of the tables. The timber dowels and the ribs of the terracotta lights also make playful reference to the Gwenn-ha-du, and root the restaurant in its origins.

The café is Set within an old warehouse at the Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich east London. The industrial building was formerly part of a munitions factory producing weaponary for the royal navy and armed forces. The building has been stripped back to a shell retaining its original material character and emphasizing its industrial heritage. 

The scheme leaves the original features intact and the design is an insertion of new elements to contrast with the existing fabric of the building.

The original concrete render is left exposed and the banquettes create the delineation between old and new with a continiuos line running into the window reveals and concluding with a waiter station at the door. The seats are upholstered in a military green further emphazing the link to the buildings history. 

Reference to the buidlings heritage is again reflected in use of the chevron pattern which draws its inspiration from the insignia on military uniforms. 

Bespoke tables in solid oak have have the chevron pattern screen printed directly on the surface in a mixture of grey and whites with metal powder coated legs giving a visual reference to an industrial workbench. 

Industrial unfinished hot rolled steel lines the kitchen walls and is also used to create the wall mounted menus.

Two Magpies Bakery is set on the picturesque high street of Southwold in Suffolk. Fresh bread and patisserie are baked on-site and freshly supplied to the shelves every morning and throughout the day, and a view directly into the kitchen provides customers with a glimpse of the artisan bakers at work. 

The space is made up of a series of bespoke elements made from Douglas fir finished in white lye, creating clean lines with a contemporary feel and a pared-back canvas on which to display the highly crafted products on sale. 

The Douglas fir serving counter features a motif inspired by magpies’ nests by illustrator Katharine Gorham in white resin. Cakes and patisserie are arranged on the countertop, with bread displayed on custom-made timber shelves behind the counter. Traditional brown cardboard luggage labels tied with string provide hand-written product information and pricing, and a constantly-evolving menu designed to celebrate Suffolk and its seasonal produce is hand-written on to a brown paper roll displayed behind the counter. 

Bread is also displayed in the shop window with the use of stained white timber dowels projecting from the wall. The dowels are used again elsewhere to display bespoke wooden serving boards which have the Two Magpies logo burnt on to the surface, and feature a butter dish recess. 

Communal tables and a wall-mounted bench are designed by Paul Crofts, and made from solid Douglas fir with painted turned legs. Running the length of the seating area is a bespoke shelf supported by white dowels arranged in an asymmetric, nest-like pattern. 

The rear of the shop is clad with bespoke timber shingles, inspired by birds’ feathers and stained in a series of overlapping greys.

The visual aesthetic of the Concrete range is in direct response to the material in question. Design cues are taken from the material’s application in architecture and structural detailing, and forms are deliberately minimal to highlight the material’s intrinsic quality. The inner workings of the concrete are expressed on the surface of the pieces, as exemplified in the desks’ sign-in platforms, which are developed from hot rolled steel that would normally be hidden inside the structure (and not exposed).

Complementing the brand’s existing modular furniture in concrete and solid surface, the Metal collection represents an exploration into a new family of materials for Isomi. With an initial edition of furniture in hot rolled steel, copper and brass, the collection is a reflection of Isomi’s core philosophy of working with materials in their most original, authentic form; materials that are hand-selected at source with the greatest care and applied with absolutely minimal intervention in terms of treatment and finish.

Each of the three metals has been chosen for its unique qualities.  With hand-selected steel and absolute precision in manufacturing, a delicate balance between a raw, unfinished industrial material applied in precise and minimal forms is achieved.

The Isomi showroom in Clerkenwell is a gallery where the charm of an authentic 1800’s Clerkenwell courtyard meets a super reduced material palette. Inspired by the brand’s concept of a single material per edition, the interior is stripped back and paired up with blackend steel.  A ribbon of metal folds and turns to create exhibition walls and a staircase balustrade. The original features such as a crane and double loading doors are reinstated to give nod to the honesty of the industrial design. 

Celebrating the family business model, the visitor’s journey starts at the courtyard level with a working studio offering an insight into the current direction and design experiments. The upper floor is a minimalist, light-flooded room showcasing the brand’s latest edition. The client interaction unfolds at the actual edition pieces keeping the interior free of any additional furniture.

La Petite Bretagne 2012

The studio’s design for the restaurant is inspired by the feel and aesthetic of the traditional French bistro, and the historic craft of Brittany from where the crêpe originates. Gingham tablecloths, industrial lighting, homely decorative details and sturdy heirloom-style furniture have all been given a unique and contemporary twist. 

With a layout designed to evoke the intimate setting of a domestic kitchen or dining room, a communal table in solid ash dominates the main space. The bespoke table features an oversized hand-drawn interpretation of the French gingham tablecloth by illustrator Katharine Gorham, screen printed directly onto the tabletop.

Crêpes are made to order at a cast concrete counter featuring an abstracted version of the gingham pattern, which is again reflected on the acid etched cast concrete floor. This concrete provides a contrast with the warmth of the reclaimed French oak parquet flooring found elsewhere in the restaurant.

Bespoke shelving in solid ash reflects the material of the communal table, with red steel coat hooks making further reference to a relaxed domestic setting. The shelves are screen printed with a lace design, also by Gorham, which was inspired by Brittany’s famous lace ‘coiffe’ bonnets; framed prints of the lace appear elsewhere in the restaurant.

With specially-designed industrial-style lighting and understated seating, the character of La Petite Bretagne is that of a modern, pared-back take on nostalgic French restaurant design.
