Sensations and experiences form the backbone of every Timothy Oulton design , it ’ s not just how something looks but also how it feels that is so important . New Tomahawk leather is supremely soft and tactile against the skin , taking its cue from the velvety softness of rose petals . Tomahawk features on the new Lux sectional sofa and Rally chair .
Tim Oulton : “ The cornerstone of this collection is the materials – some of which are incredibly difficult to collect , and even more difficult to work with . It takes an enormous amount of skill and effort to cut marble thin enough to use in cabinetry , or to use rock crystal to make furniture and lighting . But I ’ m not interested in anything that ’ s easy . The unique materials and the complexity in the hand finishing is what makes this collection so special .”
With over 40 galleries worldwide from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and in the grandeur of Harrods in London , Timothy Oulton continues its plan of opening new stores in the world ’ s great cities , with recent additions including New Delhi and Seoul . Further openings are planned for 2018 .
