Architectural Furniture & Sculptural Seating by RubinoWilson

Combining industrial materials with luxury textiles, elegant forms and a refined finish. Every piece is designed to last a lifetime. Bespoke sizing and colours are available. All pieces are designed and made in England by RubinoWilson.

Collections are designed to accommodate instinctive resting postures such as kneeling, crouching and reclining. Sculptural forms, subtle surface patterns and soothing material palettes appease the eye, creating environments for calm contemplation.

In Collection I, industrial materials and squat, solid structures are reimagined for an elegant and refined way of living. A colour palette of black, ivory, olive green and burnt orange allude to natural landscapes, and create a serene setting for quiet reflection, creating or entertaining.

The furniture pieces are constructed using mild steel frames, welded by Rubino and Wilson. The steel is hand-coated many times with a patina before construction, to draw out the deep black and brown tones.

The large surfaces are cast from bespoke moulds and made using a more sustainable alternative to concrete, chosen to highlight the fine detail of the checkerboard patterns embossed into the design, inspired by traditional Japanese zen gardens.

Tables and low seats are designed for sitting ‘tailor-style’, with legs crossed or folded – a position traditionally used by craftspeople for its comfort, convenience and efficiency. Day beds are made with a firm cushion, for optimal alignment of the spine and improved posture.

The upholstery, finished in a heavy cotton canvas, is made by Valerie Hui, founder of Otho London, and designed for a long-lasting and durable finish.
