Services
We live in an increasingly busy world, our fast paced lives give us little time to enjoy the natural beauty of our environment. The very drive of what I do is to reconnect us to simpler times, to bring back a link to nature, offering a calmness and nostalgia through craft. An architecturally beautiful piece, fixed in one position this puts function at the forefront.
Alongside his collection pieces, Alexander works with leading retailers and manufacturers to create furniture for the larger market. His style embraces simplistic Scandinavian design, creating forms that are clean and unobtrusive, yet retaining a level of all important beauty and character. Inspired by and named after Ayrmer Cove in Devon, the Ayrmer chairs were created to offer a customisable multi functional seating system.
