138 JOHN EADON LAUNCHING AT LONDON DESIGN FAIR 2017 New designer-maker JOHN EADON will be launching his first new furniture collection, MIMA, at London Design Fair, September 21 – 24 2017. The 'Spindle Furniture' designed for the MIMA collection takes inspiration from the techniques of Windsor chair making, resulting in a strong but lightweight construction. The spindles create an open and minimal aesthetic allowing for patterns of light and shade to play across the surfaces. A Warwickshire based designer-maker, JOHN EADON creates fresh contemporary designs, furnishing the habits of living, informed by the crafts of the past. The MIMA Collection, in a choice of solid British Hardwoods, includes: MIMA Record Table: a side table which can store vinyl records and have a record player on the top or, alternatively, show plants, books or display prize objects. MIMA Magazine Table: a Hexagon shaped side table with splayed spindles working as legs, shelf support and magazine rack. MIMA Table Lamp: with three legs joined to a Hexagonal boss and brass lamp fittings and choice of braided flex. MIMA Candle Holders: set of three tapered hexagonal holders in three heights. MIMA Plant Stand: currently in two heights and widths, with the tall one able to display plants on an additional lower shelf. MIMA Shelving: wall hung ladder shelving system in solid wood with choice of 6” or 8” lift off interchangeable shelves and selection of 4 bracket lengths available. These can be as sets or individual components to mix and match for your own unique layout, a single bracket on its own can even function as a plant hanger.
