Vibrant Contemporary Furniture

Lockwood Design is the brainchild of British designer, Anna Lockwood's wealth of experience in design and furniture restoration. After earning a degree in Fine Art she spent several years working as an interior before deciding to pursue her passion for upholstery at the London College of Furniture. Since then her company has grown into a staple hub for innovative, functional designware, with a sleek, chic-sensibility.

She takes pride in sparing abandoned chairs from becoming part of landfill, preferring to reincarnate them with a touch class. She approach to environmentally sustainability is more governed by necessity rather than simply being a topic of conversation - she believes that every pieces of furniture deserves a second chance at life. She's a keen observer of trends but tends to stay adrift from convention by being original in every aspect of her work. Each piece is a one-off product of hours spent in her Oxford-based studio. Her past work includes bespoke headboards, leather desks, cushions and beanbags.

The design aesthetic of her range of wood-and-fabric blend chairs is quite avant-garde and abstract. Her collection is more boutique-friendly than that of a department store. She experiments with various textures and materials, as well as contrasting colors - while ensuring that each design carries an element of her bold, artistic footprint. Her furniture is speckled with subtle accents, like buttons and flowers, a testament to her unparalleled attention to every single detail.

Her collection of bespoke chairs appeal to many different tastes and purposes, whether you're looking for something you intend use regularly, like the conservative, 'Pearson Armchair' or something to marvel at more often than use, like the red petal 'Occassional Chair' with its frilly, petal-esque cushioned-surface. Despite being designed for advocates of contemporary living, the London-born company tries to incorporate elements of "classic, innovative design" into their eclectic range of furniture.
