Shop by Abel Sloane
Here’s a tumblr shop to bookmark. Abel Sloane who is, incidentally based close to Penge (the place is full of surprises), is a furniture maker / restorer who sells a bunch of stuff I’d love to buy. He has a particular knack for photographing chairs…
I want a new office chair. Now.
A recent English and American lit graduate, Abel has only been working with furniture for nine months and as well as selling his own stuff, also does some restoration work for Retrouvius.
‘My absolute passion is Dutch modernism, De Stijl, Gerrit Reitveld, and that whole group of Dutch designers from the inter-war period. Something about the simple lines, and an absolute erradication of superfluity, just really gets my boat floating,’ he says. It’s floating mine too.
Thank you for the inspiring South London tips…..been in touch with this guy as love those chairs!
Great news, his collection is great isn’t it?
