aln furniture : Original designs

Anna Nichols • Aug 06, 2020

Metal frames saved from the scrap yard.

A very different style from alnfurniture or maybe not?!!

Most of my pieces, over the last 10 years have been made in sustainable Scottish hardwoods. 

As a designer-maker, my journey of making pieces of furniture in wood, hasn't held me back from designing other pieces using other materials.

Including metal, concrete, Perspex, glass, leather and re-claimed parts.

How these tables started?

I spotted these four old metal frames sitting on a pallet in our workshop, ready to be discarded. Straight away I envisaged a few of my designs using these frames.

Using other materials, I'd collected in my storage bay or attic. I designed the final details of each table. They each had to have their own individual uniqueness. Co-ordinating colours and different materials for each individual top.

My intention was to have them in a local gallery by spring 2020. I will be postponing this show till next year. Including a new unseen collection.

If you've been inspired by my designs and would like something unique for your home.
