Arthur Edwards 1930 - 2009 FURNITURE DESIGNER
Good design outlives fashion When I design a piece of furniture I am thinking - will this chair, this table, this cabinet still be desirable in 15 or even 50 years' time? Certainly it is fun and satisfying to design at the cutting edge of fashion. But how much more satisfying and challenging to create furniture which will still be admired and cherished after many years.
