Claire Danthois - Furniture Designer

Claire Danthois, based out of Bristol, England, adds a unique spin on her furniture designs. She uses only reclaimed materials and doesn't use glues or finishes. This gives her pieces a tactile feel and a pure natural look.

While designing specific pieces for specific people with specific measurements, Claire explains, "I take measurements of the different proportions between a client's shoulders, lumbar and base of their spine firstly. Then the curvature is worked out using a giant profile gauge that I made specifically for that purpose."

Talk about settling into a good book.
