The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh is a building conceived to dispel political dreich. It doesn't flinch at the flank shy but stands confident in the main line ,a slaugh-gairm to its detractors. So it is nice to find internally a calmer corner, away from heaped praise and slung mud, to an area of cerebral craft and thus to the reception desk from the
award winning London born Furniture designer David Colwell, based in Wales.
Who is better placed to deliver such work to the foyer of democracey other than a designer who's chairs Michelle Obama has sat on. And in his words :
'The Reception Desk, is like a plant, rooted to the architecture but drawn along with the flow of people, both formed by and forming their movement into the building. It is intended as a point of human reference to the building and the institution'.
Davids work comes under the banner of Trannon Furniture, stylish and timeless eco furniture so for us his work shines brightly in Reception Desk World.
