FURNITURE ENTREPRENEURS
THE FABULOUS FACES OF FURNITURE The team on Ponsonby News loves all types of design‌ so we asked six local furniture entrepreneurs, on this month’s issue front cover to select one favourite current piece available in their showroom. Here are their favourites...
Angus Dawson, DAWSON & CO As a teenager I was fortunate enough to spend over 15 months living in Finland and this experience opened my eyes, not only to the raw beauty of this part of the world, but also to the graceful simplicity that is inherent in Scandinavian design. The Pensive Sofa by Tolv, with its ultra thin arms that bookend the generous seat and back cushions is a perfect statement of mid-century minimalism and functionality. The handsome oak base underlines and contrasts the upholstery with cylindrical legs that soften and add visual interest. A timeless design that is fit for any beautiful living space, it is designed by Cameron Foggo, a very talented Kiwi furniture designer which makes it even more of a compelling favourite for me.
