Inspired by traditional 19th Century design, this elegant range of living room furniture is made from Mindi wood, a tropical hardwood, and veneers of Pippy oak, which is characterised by decorative clusters of small knots. The result, when stained and polished, is a rich figured pattern not normally achieved with other types of wood. The look is further enhanced with the addition of antiqued brass door handles and woven natural cane shelves.
The range is pretty extensive, whether you want a single statement furniture piece or a coordinated set.
Hemingway Round Lamp Table – a beautiful and perfectly proportioned lamp table featuring a single drawer and a woven cane lower shelf. W50 × D50 × H55cm. £450
Hemingway Oval Coffee Table – marvel at the finish of the polished oval top. A truly wonderful furniture piece and, with the woven lower shelf, a perfect match for the side table W110 × D76 × H50cm. £679
Hemingway Console Table – this slender table, with a half-circle top, will sit neatly in the living room or hallway and provide the perfect base for a lamp or vase. The two drawers aren’t just decorative either, deep and solid enough for all manner of storage duties. W93 × D38 × H76cm. £650
Hemingway Bookcase With Drawer – discreet in style but a looker nonetheless. Three shelves providing ample storage for books and the trio of little drawers will prove invaluable for keeping small items neatly organised. W90 × D30 × H114cm. £799
