Tom, Dick and Harry are a natural collection, but also confident, independent pieces. The award-winning range has a progressive, gently angular design, all three chairs bearing subtle variations in shape and size to work together in the same environment or as three individual pieces.
Mark Gabbertas was born in Yorkshire in 1962 and came to the world of furniture design in a circuitous way having started his working life in advertising before changing career path to train as a cabinet maker. Apprenticed to Codrington Furniture and then with Stemmer and Sharp in the acclaimed Oblique Workshops in Hackney, it was Hackney he chose to found his own design/making studio in 1994. In 2001, he established the Gabbertas Studio in West London to focus on furniture design, before moving the main studio to the Oxfordshire countryside in 2016.
