The Tearoom Collection
BY NICK ROSS
A STUDY IN MINIMALIST LUXURY, OUR TEAROOM
COLLECTION OFFERS INDULGENT RETREATS AND
MOOD-LIFTING COMFORT FOR A MULTITUDE OF
SETTINGS, FROM EXCLUSIVE HOTELS, CLUBS AND
LOUNGES TO PRIVATE HOMES. DEMONSTRATING
THE VAST POTENTIAL OF WORKING WITH SIMPLE,
GEOMETRIC FORMS, THE COLLECTION'S CLUB
AND LOUNGE CHAIRS AND SOFA EACH PAIR THE
LUXURIOUS FEEL OF FULL UPHOLSTERY WITH A
CLEAN SILHOUETTE – AND ARE AS APPEALING TO
THE TOUCH AS THEY ARE EASY ON THE EYE.
The inspiration for the Tearoom Collection came from
Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Willow Chair, created
between 1902 and 1904 for the Willow Tea Rooms in
Glasgow. While creating the clean silhouettes, designer
Nick Ross took exceptional care to imbue every inch of each
design with mood-lifting comfort. Lines curve gently to
ensure that the furniture’s contours complement our own
and beneath the upholstery, a wood and foam construction
creates the ideal pairing of sturdiness and lush comfort.
What is a lounge design, after all, if it does not deliver on
the experience you imagine when you get drawn into its
sculptural form from afar?
Inviting relaxation and comfortably accommodating
multiple guests, the chair, lounger and sofa bring a leisure
experience in a multitude of settings, from exclusive
hotels, clubs and lounges to private homes. Timeless in its
expression and execution, the Tearoom Collection is well-
suited to both period and contemporary environments,
radiating elegant, yet strict femininity. Their embracing
forms, while alluring, stop short of being overly casual. As
such, the furniture maintains a clear visual connection to
the sculptural 1904 Willow Chair that originally sparked
the designer’s imagination.
