How has 2019 been so far for Lyndon?
Demand for our handcrafted timber furniture and
upholstery has continued to grow significantly this
year. Our mantra ‘the restless pursuit of excellence’
is really what sets Lyndon apart from others and
we never compromise on our high standards of
quality craftsmanship. Our products can be
found adorning hospitality, leisure, retail and
corporate venues.
Is wood still your core material?
All of our products are handcrafted from the finest
solid hardwood to create a durable and refined
aesthetic. Not only does timber have the grace
and beauty to create a stunning design feature
or architectural centre piece, its fine decorative
details help to create effortlessly stylish décor.
More importantly, it’s sensitive to the environment.
How has Lyndon adapted to meet
changing interior design demands?
Whilst we strictly adhere to our brand design
principles, we also bow to the ever-changing
wheel of fashion. In addition to expanding our
range of dining and casual tables, we have
increased our modular seating collections too. We
have also introduced a striking range of coloured
painted frame options so that designers now
have unparalleled freedom to create bright and
energetic interiors. We also support the flow of
technology with many power and data options.What new seating trends are you
seeing in the corporate sector?
As the office canteen gives rise to the modern
Workcafé, Lyndon’s furniture solutions are in high
demand. From high and low tables accompanied
by chairs, benches or stools, to bespoke café style
booths and soft seating, our furniture helps create
a dynamic space where employees, customers
and visitors can meet, work, network, socialise, and
recharge. Planned or impromptu, employees can
‘escape’ their desks in comfort, yet at the same
time maintain close connections with colleagues
and the organisation.Is Lyndon’s bespoke furniture
still in high demand?
Demand for our bespoke designs continues
to grow. From banquette seating in bars and
custom designed armchairs in Michelin starred
restaurants, to stand-out centrepiece seating
in corporate foyers, we can create a bespoke
design to meet almost any requirement. We area firm favourite with high-end cinemas; supplying
custom designed sofas and armchairs in luxurious
upholstery complete with deluxe seat cushions.
Handcrafted footrests and tables help make the
cinema experience truly unique.What advice would you give to interior
designers when specifying furniture?
At Lyndon, we believe that seating and furniture
should no longer be specified purely for visual
aesthetics and comfort. Today, it’s crucial that
every space should be tailored to meet its
intended purpose in order to inspire the good
health and wellbeing of its occupants. The
added value it can bring in terms of functionality,
relaxation and wellbeing should be a
primary consideration.01242 584897
