London Design Festival 09: new British design and production company Very Good & Proper launched their first collection at The Dock in London last month.
Called Canteen, the collection includes a chair, table and coat hook.
The pressed beech plywood seat of the chair is supported by a powder-coated steel frame.
The aluminium table legs attach directly to the underside of the top and are also supplied separately for use with an existing or found top.
A powder-coated plate behind the knob of the coat hook forms a secondary hook and protects the wall behind from scratches.
Very Good & Proper is a collaboration between London designers Klauser & Carpenter and restaurateur Patrick Clayton-Malone.
The Canteen collection was originally designed Canteen restaurant in Baker Street, London, co-founded by Clayton-Malone.
