As today is National Engineering Day we thought we would share an example of our engineering work: The LH-42 chair. The LH-42 is designed and engineered to be stackable giving flexibility to the space it is used in. This image is from our project in the Master's Field Pavilion at Balliol College, Oxford.To see more about the LH-42 and this project click through here at https://lukehughes.odoo.com/r/vRl

We are terribly sad to hear about the death of Tony Husband, the legendary cartoonist for Private Eye (amongst much else).

Some years ago he published this cartoon about a rather diminutive Round Table for Arthurian knights. In a nutshell and ten words why there’s a role for what we do!

Bless him… we have the original in the company archive which he kindly sent to us.

Tributes are flocking in from every front, we particularly like these great words with an interview earlier this year:

We love this post by Jack at Living London History about the Great Hall at London's Guildhall, for which we designed and made the new stacking chairs that feature in his photos:

The City of London is the ancient centre of London, where the Romans established Londinium. At the heart of the City is the Guildhall.
