17th May 2024 | IN DESIGN EVENTS | BY SBID ShareTweetPinterestLinkedIn Oxley’s first new furniture collection for 5 years, Petrosphere, is inspired by the enigmatic stone spheres left behind by the Neolithic peoples of Scotland. These curious stones are an integral feature in the new design and are a key detail on the armrests of the chairs, sofas and lounge chairs. As well as looking timelessly elegant, they offer a sense of enhanced comfort and relaxation when gripped and handled by anyone seated. Oxley's Furniture - Petrosphere 1300 table Simon Hudson, Managing Director of Oxley’s Furniture, became mesmerised by these ancient artefacts. “It fascinated me that these ancient people went to the trouble of carving intricate patterns in stone just for the sake of it. They must have enjoyed the texture and the reassurance the finished stones gave. From this thought sprang my initial idea for the chair armrest, to have a Petrosphere-like-sphere that can be held and played with as you sit and relax in the chair.” Oxley's Furniture - Petrosphere Lounge Chair Oxley’s furniture is designed and built to be as timeless as the Petrospheres themselves. Produced by craftsmen using recycled aluminium, the furniture can be left outdoors all year round and is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Items are exported from Oxley’s factory in the Cotswolds to private residences around the world and Oxley’s collections can also be found in a number of boutique hotels which value the brand’s timeless design, sustainability and lifetime guarantee. The new furniture is available in 3 sizes consisting of a round table, lounge chairs, sofa and coffee table. It will be available to purchase online from 1st May and will be displayed at the Oxley’s stand WA 186 at the 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show from 20-25 May.
