Called The Bay, the collection comprises a sofa, stool, two vases, a storage unit and a set of pastel lacquered mirrors - each inspired by the memories contained within a seaside resort and available in limited editions of 30 or 60.

Watching The Ships Roll In is a contemporary reworking of the deck chair, which uses removable cushions on a beech structure to allow varying levels of comfort. The design is available in both sofa and stool versions.

The Balise vase is inspired by buoys washing close to the shore at low tide, while Onde takes its design cue from a pebble skimming across water.

Y is a beech shelving unit with rearrangeable, pastel lacquered shelves inspired by a seaside landscape of trees and pastel-hued beach huts.

Finally, a series of  mirrors named Drapeaux are each tinted with a different shade of pastel, silk-screened sectionally to resemble the flags they have been named after.
