The latest additions\u00a0to our\u00a0Brunel<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>range have arrived, and to mark the occasion we’re going back to where it all began\u00a0with an exclusive look behind\u00a0Rob Scarlett’s best-selling design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While design is an ever-evolving process, certain\u00a0pieces really strike a chord that resonates\u00a0with contemporary interiors. A perfect example of this is the Brunel range by Rob Scarlett, its blend of mid-century inspiration and contemporary industrial feel suited to modern homes where there is a demand for stylish, well made furniture that is both functional and affordable.<\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from an original 1950s piece of storage\u00a0by British icons Robin Day and Clive Latimer,\u00a0Scarlett sought to incorporate not only the leaning design but also the\u00a0industrial look of black tubular metal. This series of original sketches shows the development of a few\u00a0key pieces from the Brunel range from the initial concept through to the\u00a0finished article, all of which still feature in our current collections.<\/p>\n

\"Brunel<\/a><\/p>\n

Early designs for the Brunel Table<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>included fold out panels of oak and a hidden runner system to increase the width. Notice also how the three pronged legs were simplified to create the ranges trademark continuous line of tubular black metal.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a\u00a0leaning storage unit by Robin Day and Clive Latimer, this rough sketch of the Brunel Lean Mirror<\/a><\/span> is almost identical to the finished design complete with bent metal frame, hanging rail and concealed storage compartment.<\/p>\n

While the shape and style are all there, this\u00a0design for the Brunel Bed<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>really came to life in the hands of Heal’s furniture craftsmen who replaced the block\u00a0corners with smooth joinery and extended the headboard to create a statement feature.<\/p>\n
