HERITA GE AND TR ADITION

hirty years ago in
a humble workshop
above a Dorking chippy,
British design power-
hous
T e LINLEY was born.
The ambition of its founder, David
Linley (pictured), is the same now as it
was then: to manufacture furniture of
the highest quality and craftsmanship.
And how! Since its debut collection sold out the night it was
launched in 1985, LINLEY has become one of the leading
lights in the design world, renowned for its meticulous
craftsmanship as much as its design flair. This is a company
whose craftsmen can carve a fruit bowl into an object more
akin to sculpture; or wholly rethink the design of an armchair
for maximum comfort. Now, LINLEY has reinterpreted the
icons of its creative journey, including the ‘Aston’ chair
(reimagined as a paperweight), as a collection of eight pieces,
each finished with a commemorative plaque, that together
tell the story of 30 years at the pinnacle of British design.
