Designed to be versatile, living in harmony with both contemporary furniture, vintage and antiques of all periods and styles.

"The Turkish Collection represents a certain sense of ease that we’re always after — it’s cosy, and comfortable, it’s incredibly versatile in terms of its styling, it’s handsome dressed up in mohair or dressed down in linen…it’s absolutely timeless." Commune Design
Commune played with proportion, customised and simplified frames and legs and introduced natural wood finishes, shearling and washed Belgian linen. The resulting pieces feel at home whether in a John Lautner house in the Hollywood Hills, an urban loft in New York, or a Tudor English estate.
"The vertical channeled back is low to create an elegant silhouette combine with classic “bun” feet make the collection a contemporary twist on a classic design." Commune Design
Commune Design have re-imagined the classic English sofa to bring us the Channeled Sofa and the Channeled Chairs. Classic feet and an elegant silhouette combine with the vertical channeled back and solid seat to make the Channeled duo a contemporary twist on a classic design.
"The Wing pieces are tall and deep creating a sophisticated and striking modern silhouette inspired by classic wing chairs. The “baseball bat” leg is simple and modern. " Commune Design
"There is a Charles Eames quote; “The details are not the details. They make the design.” Both of our studios aim to produce serious work, solve problems for clients and make things of quality that stand the test of time. Our companies each have a love of history, commitment to detail and appreciation of the craftspeople who make things. It’s a common ground we both have in ethos and approach."
