design news IN A TRIBUTE to American design, furniture makers Hancock and Moore have launched their new Iconic America collection. By merging Western, colonial, and rock ‘n’ roll elements with their artisanal domestic craftsmanship, they have created arresting designs that embody the all-American style. Like the Soul Chair (above) designed by Mark Geotz with its profile that resembles the shape of a guitar and the Painter’s Chair (below) designed by Alan Price with its glamour ruby leather back and hair-on-hide exterior. www.hancockandmoore.com From rising designer Lee Broom comes a new collection of furniture which uses a technique that he calls carpetry. It’s a simple concept: cover the piece of furniture with carpet - in this case a 100% wool Wilton in a design inspired by traditional Persian rugs. “It has always fascinated me how something so Middle Eastern can also be so British,” he says. This sideboard is a piece from his Heritage Boy collection. www.leebroom.com THE TORI sofa from Taylor King strikes the perfect balance between whimsical and prim with button tufting and a traditional frame upholstered in a bright Zuma Peacock fabric. The contrasting white buttons and snow tape on the seat cushions complement the Coconut finished wood legs. T: 001 828 632 7731 | www.taylorking.com 40 Bridge for Design March 2015
