Consoles

Console height is the whole decision. It is what separates a piece you use standing up in a hall from one that stands behind a sofa, and it is the first thing to settle.

Three heights, three different jobs

Behind a sofa, you want the console just below the back of the seating: Akropolis at 68 cm and Olympos at 73 cm are drawn for exactly that, standing in an open-plan room carrying lamps and objects without blocking the view across. At standing height — Victor 87 cm, Grace 92, Charyton 94, Sign 103 — the top is where your hands already are for keys, post and a lamp, with wall left above for a mirror. Sign is the tallest console we make. Equale is the opposite case at 65 cm: too low for a hall, and the right piece under a window, beneath hung art or at the end of a bed.

Then check the depth against your corridor

This is the dimension that decides whether a console works at all. A 50 cm console in a 1.2 metre corridor leaves 70 cm to walk past, which two people cannot do. HTC at 35 cm is the shallowest we make and keeps a narrow hall usable; Sign and Grace are 40 cm; Charyton at 53 cm is the deepest and gives a genuinely usable surface, but needs the width to carry it.

Length, and the materials

Olympos at 250 cm is the longest, its front a rhythm of wooden slats against dark lacquer. Akropolis runs to 240 cm, divided by leather-clad uprights set into a lacquered body. Charyton is wrapped entirely in leather with the stitching done by hand — no wood or metal showing anywhere — and can be matched to a sofa in the same hide. Sign and Grace are cut from solid timber in sweeping curves. HTC takes a marble or glass top on a gold-toned frame, and Equale a glass top on brushed brass legs.

How ordering works
