I’m still having a flick through this months issue of Living Etc (April ’10) and like a sign from the shopping gods, the mag opened up on their edited choice of bedside tables and I felt a tad swoonish when I clapped eyes on the oak bedside cabinet with a drawer (top) – I love furniture with bold curves.
London based company Unto This Last are extremely eco friendly. Working as ‘local craftsmen’ they’re focused on making furniture to order using digital tools that help them avoid laborious industrial processes. All made at the back of their shop, their pieces are all made from a special birch ply composite. They have over 100 products to choose from in oak, walnut, white, and dark brown, and they’re seriously reasonably priced as I’ve seen mass produced stuff without a fraction of the style and dubious material quality, for more.
The bedside cabinets are £95-£115 and the tallboys are £210-£250.
They have two workshops:
230 Brick Lane, London E2 7EB
Queens Circus, London, SW8 4NE
They only deliver in London and you have to go in store and order or do it via the phone, old style.
