Ease Chair
Heal’s, the renowned British furniture store have been successfully hosting a Bodging Project that brings together makers and designers for almost a decade. In 2014, Gareth Neal and five furniture designers (Chris Eckersley, William Warren, Sarah Kay, Carl Clerkin and Koji Katsuragi) joined forces in the Tottenham Court Road shop window of Heal’s for a week of creative exploration. In a race against time and each other, using a range of offcuts from Ercol and Sitting Firm, they set about crafting beautiful objects.
Press and customers were invited to vote for their favourite design and Gareth Neal’s design won. Out of this collaborative workshop environment came the beautifully crafted Ease Chair, whose simple lines and stylishly slung leatherback are a great addition to the contemporary furniture world. The Ease Chair, handcrafted in Italy, features a leather hide seat which is finished with a process known as vegetable tanning, a tradition of Tuscan tanneries.
