At the minimalist end of the spectrum is Ljiljana Gazevic’s DeUnie range; a modish collection of lounges, tables and storage options that impeccably bring together the richest of leathers and timbers.

Beyond these and other existing ranges, Mortice & Tenon’s furniture division also works with trade and private clients to refine and manufacture bespoke furniture items. The experienced team managing the furniture division is made up of Paul Bianchini, Fred Genetay and Lionel Seibert all trained in France with the famous artisan guild “Les Compagnons du Devoir”.
