After studying for an Engineering degree at Nottingham University, a somewhat misguided Dan Hill jumped on the gravy train with many of his contemporaries and headed to London to seek his fortune. It was during periods of reflection whilst sat at his desk in the City bank where he worked that Dan dreamed up New Red Furniture and sought to turn this dream into reality.
The dining table is traditionally the heart of any home, at which there are meals had, plans hatched, friendships forged, disputes settled, homework done, events celebrated. If dining tables had ears, the tales they could tell. It is not something that is bought on a whim, rather an investment for life.
The process starts with a client meeting. Some have a clear idea of what they want, some very little. Either way the design process can be quite engaging. We produce drawings and sometimes models to arrive at something that we want to make and the client wants to have in their house. Once we have agreed a design, a commitment by way of a 30% deposit enables us source timber and books your place in our workshop schedule.
The brief for a "loveseat" was provided by local clients to mark their marriage. The basic form was inspired by a fireside chair viewed in a house at the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans, Cardiff. Two chairs are joined together to form one garden seat. The backs of the seats are inscribed with some words from "Rev Eli Jenkin's Prayer" from Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas.
We've increasingly been engaged by clients to build fitted furniture, bookcases, wardrobes, media units and the occasional kitchen. These can be natural oil finishes or hand-painted eggshell, giving the piece a warmth and textured quality lost in spray painted mdf. Transform an awkward space or alcove into something useful and enhance your house at the same time.
