Klauser and Carpenter utility chair

Klauser and Carpenter utility chair

Design/ Furniture

Commissioned by Canteen for their group of restaurants. This design can be seen as an evolution of the once ubiquitous post-war Utility Chair, still a familiar sight in the UK today. Klaus & Carpenter managed to reduce the chair to three main components. The powder-coated frame is made from one continuous piece of bent tube. Hidden fixings join it neatly to the plywood seat and back. Along the way they subtly updated the look of the classic archetype. The result is light weight, stackable and versatile: the Canteen Utility Chair. 2009. VG&P. 

Caruso St John Brick House

Caruso St John Brick House

Architecture/ Interiors

On a constricted site in West London stands a family house designed by Caruso St John. The unusual shape of the site has shaped the interior living spaces and is in contrast with the typologies of the London town house that surround Brick House. The interior spaces are broad, intimate and overlook small gardens. Caruso St John was formed in London,  with a second office in Zurich, by Adam Caruso and Peter St John in 1990 with the aim of pursuing architecture that is rooted in place. The practice’s refined and considered approach has won them international competitions and prizes. Caruso St John
