SUPERMARINE VINTAGE LOFT FURNITURE
Noel Pemberton Billing set up a company , Pemberton- Billing Ltd , in 1913 to produce sea-going aircraft . Its telegraphic address , used for sending telegrams and cables to the company , was ; Supermarine , Southampton .
The first Supermarine land plane design to go into production was the famous and successful Spitfire . The earlier Hawker Hurricane and the Spitfire were the mainstay of RAF Fighter Command fighter aircraft which fought off the bombing raids with fighter escorts during the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940 .
Supermarine is where it all began for us … the desire to stand out from the crowd , to be stylish and individualistic .
Whilst the likes of IKEA have their place , the problem is that mass production means masses of people all have essentially the same set of home furnishings . The design and style of such furniture is also aimed at the popular market , leaving little room for individualism .
As discerning Brits , we looked around the many hundreds of furniture stores in a vain attempt to find the complete package ... distinctive , high quality period furniture , coupled with the cool finishing touches that define your signature style . Having failed in this quest , we decided to do something about it … the result was The King ’ s Jack , and our first range was Supermarine .
