Here’s a great story about an Aussie taught furniture/industrial designer – Leonhard Pfeifer – who produces furniture and home accessories from his studio in London.

Leon studied at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, working across manufacturing, R&D and consultancy, before establishing his own studio in 2003.

Now based in London, he produces work for retail and contract markets for clients across Europe, the UK and further abroad.

Leon also designs bespoke furniture pieces and one-off pieces – here’s some of his latest work.

Designed by Leon in 2011, and manufactured by Woodman, Estonia, the Ravenscroft desk is a study in functionality, essentiality of form and purity of materials.

It has a striking appeal and, unlike many desks which tend to be pushed up against a wall or hemmed in by room dividers, the Ravenscroft can comfortably stand alone.

Low shelf and cable access slots integrate technology into form.

The wide desktop with its angled nooks offers space for paperwork and filing.

The Eigen coat rack, with its playful geometric form, has plenty of space for jackets and bags, hats, scarves, and more.

Talk about attractive storage solutions!

(Also manufactured by Woodman).

The highly flexible Hyde bench is a great household item with multiple uses – whether that be a coffee table, TV unit, side table, storage space for shoes or towel – it can even sit at the end of your bed and store your blankets.

The Oak finish reflects the elegant form and compact foot-print; manufactured by Woodman, designed by Leon in 2011.
