Phyfe
Being a resolutely English company we are very well aware of our furniture heritage and on occasion have been known to name drop an antecedent. This is not to claim any kind of lineage but rather to acknowledge our debt to what has gone before. We would rather be on the shoulders of giants than under their feet. Chippendale was such a giant, a cabinet maker and furniture designer who is still remembered and revered 230 odd years after his death. Chippendale practically invented the sofa, at least in England, a seat wide enough to accommodate a hooped skirt or a single person and chaperone. The Phyfe is our tribute to his most persistent camel back design, a hybrid of faithful proportion, skilful manufacture and modern materials. It is beautiful to behold and comfortable to sit on. This is no reproduction or compromise, this is our loving paean to one of the greatest sofa designs ever.

Due to a physical limitation that prevents him from blowing his own trumpet Richard Baker is quite possibly the best furniture designer you’ve never heard of. Born in 1961, the year of the E-Type Jaguar and the son of a renowned English furniture maker, it was obvious from an early age that Richard had a burning desire not to do what his father did. However, after gaining a bunch of 5's in his CSE's, failing to finish box construction at technical college and getting fired from a men’s clothing emporium for wearing the wrong trousers his father decided he needed a course correction and put him to work in his factory sanding an infinite number of chair legs. So enamoured was Richard of his dusty new vocation that he ran away to Australia and thrived as a low achiever, he didn't look back, until he did. Having learnt the wisdom of actors, Richard returned to England and accepted his father's invisible cloak of credibility and so attired wrestled some cash from a hapless bank and with his wife Libby opened Rume, a furniture store with Richard as the creative director, which is a made up title that people without any qualifications use. Coming to terms with his imposter syndrome but not overcoming it Richard was surprised to discover that other people thought he was actually rather good at designing furniture, so he kept doing it and still does.
