It is my pleasure to present to you my exclusive portfolio of canvases specifically chosen for Metro Furniture. These images have been specially selected from my wide range of work for their uniqueness in colour, light and subject. I have travelled the length and breadth of the UK, from my front room to Hampton Court Palace flower show in my endeavour to capture my intrigue and fascination for beauty. From the small delicate dew on a Sundew’s leaf or the most lone, unloved tree in Grizedale forest each have that special something that I now am thrilled to have the opportunity to share with you. I am especially proud of the Sundew flower at night canvas (Drosera capensis ‘Albino’), I had to be very patient as the flowers only open for a short period of time. I was fortunate to be able to witness the flowers just as they opened. This particular plant I grow on my window sill and has given me many amazing shots, two of which are available here at Metro.
To be mentioned alongside all these great designers like Eames, Le Corbusier and Bertoia as it is a great honour, I would like to say thank you to Metro for this opportunity.
These images will compliment any of the great styles Metro has to offer, so sit back in your Eames Lounge Chair or selection of your desire and enjoy. Rest assured each canvas is printed to a high quality and is individually numbered and signed by myself on the reverse.

The Le Corbusier Chaise Longue or LC4 for short was designed to fit into the concrete Parisian flats designed by the architect and as such intended for mass production. However the elaborate construction techniques that were employed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand in 1928 made it totally unsuitable for its purpose.

The Chaise longue with its bold and carefully arrangement of colour, texture and form is Le Corbusiers most complicated design. The LC4 Chaise is built upon a H-shaped base, a design which at the time was reminiscent of the wing struts of a Farman Airplane of the First World War. The Chaise’s ergonomically shaped seat which unlike early 19th Century Chaise’s that were immobile, could be adjusted to suit the angle you require to sit at or the size of the individual by moving the leather head rest. The wave of the seat which rests upon the H-base and appears to be floating in mid-air.

According to Le Corbusier himself “a chair is by no means a work of Art; has no soul; it is a machine for sitting in” To be honest with the style and sophistication that the LC4 displays even today we would have to disagree!

Our reproduction Le Corbusier Chaise Longue’s are available in;

• Black Le Corbusier LC4
• White Le Corbusier LC4
• Brown Pony Skin LC4

And are true to the original design as possible.

The Charles Eames office chair, although originally designed in 1958 and termed the “aluminium group” is still as visionary now as when it was first created. Originally designed for indoor and outdoor domestic use the chairs are now exclusively used in offices. The revolutionary design was a significant step away from traditional rigid office chairs at that time, with the seat and back made of a continuous piece of leather stretched taut between the aluminium framework. The various “aluminium group chairs” which they were originally termed, have been constantly updated and modified over the years forming new models. In 1968 EA119 or Eames thin pad office chair adopted the now widely recognized “universal base” while in 1969 the first Soft pad office chair was created (EA219) using the same frame as the thin pad or Eames ribbed office chair but with thick soft leather cushions.

From its original conception in 1958 the chair has spawned a whole range of Eames office chairs that are both practical and elegant. The most popular of which are the Eames mesh office chair (pictured above), Eames ribbed office chair (also known as the Eames thin pad office chair), the Eames lobby chair and the Eames soft pad office chair (also known as the Eames thick pad office chair). All are available with or without castors or in the high or low back form.

The striking design of the contemporary chairs with the contrast between the industrial aluminium material of the frame and the soft Italian leather of the seat is one reason the chairs are still the preferred choice for design savvy consumers and businessmen. The chairs are also still widely used in Talk Shows, News Anchors, by set designers on films, television, and on adverts to add a touch of sophistication and furniture art. Most recently the chair appeared on the latest edition of the UK apprentice around the board room.

Poul Kjaerholm’s visionary PK22 chair received immediate critical acclaim when it was first produced in 1956 winning the 1957 Grand price at the Milan Trennali and the 1958 legendary ‘Lunning Award’. It is not hard to see why, with the ultra minimalist PK22 chair bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Barcelona chair. Designed to sit low to the ground, the marriage of industrial brushed stainless and soft Italian leather works in any interior but would be ideal with a low coffee table like the Eames surfboard coffee table.

Who doesn’t recognise the Eames Lounge chair 671 and ottoman 672, when it was first produced in 1956 there was nothing else like it. Innovative in both design and appearance the frame built on the knowledge the Eameses gained designing Lounge Chair Wood (LCW).

However even this sumptuous piece of designer furniture would not have lasted the test of time had it not been ridiculously comfortable. Despite the design still looking beautiful the couple focused first on usability and wanted the chair to resemble a well used baseball mitt.
