Cut and Shut Rope Chair


For centuries designers have tried to create the illusion of furniture made from rope, either by twisting solid steel bars together, or carving the rope’s form into solid wood. The effect was realistic but the material no more expressive than the solid from which the pieces were made. Exploiting the flexibility of steel rope, the Cut and Shut Rope chair is first formed into a complex Celtic knot which is then “frozen” by infusing the fibres with an alloy. Made of this new material, the final form is polished to give a lustrous texture not unlike antique silver. The process was developed with James Garner, Tom Dixon’s prototype maker, the chair designed under the guidance of Liliane Fawcett, Dixon’s gallerist. It is now available though Tanguy Rolin.

La Grande Torchere

La Grande Torchere

The outstanding 1963 model Torchere is the new star of Les Editions Serge Mouille. Minutiously replicated by Carl who was Mouille’s protegé to further expend Mouille's works prior to his death in 1988. So it will be an Atelier Serge Mouille lamp numbered of up to 50 pairs with the choice of right and left as per photographs here below. The fixing is also very special. Unlike any other Mouille's who specifically insisted that the lamp fixes against the wall will a brass ring ! Also Carl extended the way the Torchere were lit with a double detachable bulb also designed by Mouille. An amazing lamp
