New skills I've learnt while on maternity leave - tiling.

Only a couple of hours left to learn how we mould the leather into our furniture.
Final day of the show and it's been brilliant here, thanks to all that have dropped in (plus I've nearly made it to the end!) @londondesignfair @l_d_f_official

Leather and walnut sideboard on show at the Old Truman Brewery today.

It's lovely to have comments on the tactile nature of the pieces when people see them in reality!

A double desk for versatile working in matching walnut.
The leather laptop pocket on the left also holds papers to keep the top clear, and the computer stand at the back could be used as a hallway console at a later date!
Forward thinking.
