After three months of development, working in collaboration with the brand, Tom has created a series of custom tables, chairs, side tables, armchair and day bed in Kvadrat Maharam fabrics including Maharams new leather collection.
Featuring solid ash, walnut and Victorian Blackwood detailing. All the pieces were uniquely designed for the store with the seating customised from Tom’s existing collections and Focusing on quality, natural materials, and longevity.
