A closer look at Conran funiture designs for M&S

Terence Conran's furniture range for Marks & Spencers concentrates on simple but classic pieces in colours that will stand the test of time.

There are two themes that I especially love about this range; firstly the use of contrasting materials for funtional parts to create an edge with everyday objects. 


Webster Dining Table has striking red metal rod supports


 
Brindley Coffee Table features leather straps

Wilkins Storage Chest with firehose handles

Secondly is the way that retro pieces that are pretty much extinct in the modern home, have been given a stylish modern make-over.



Dawkins valet is unrecognisable from its stuffy original form

Cayley Drinks Trolley - more Mandarin Mimosa than Tom Collins!
