Swindon-based manufacturer WJ White had never used external designers before they commissioned Wills Watson+Associates to address their boardroom and executive conference furniture. As first concept models evolved into pre-production prototypes, a strong design signature emerged from the construction of the robust steel leg frame and, in particular, the ribbon-like bright chrome plate that extends from the tip of the foot up to the top of the cantilevered leg.
Wills Watson+Associates are specialist product designers whose work can be found from Heathrow Airport to the British Museum, from hospital operating theatres to flagship office developments, and ranges in scale from micro medical products to streetscape infrastructures. They complement computer-based design with tangible models and prototypes, and cross-fertilise ideas across the different sectors in which we work.
