Alexander Lamont'
British designer Alexander Lamont has always been interested in enigmatic textures, forms, and materials; ‘surfaces that call out to be touched. The journey to make such furniture, lighting, and objects in the 21st century - requiring time and hard-won skills for each piece - took him to Thailand where he has built celebrated workshops. Alexander Lamont makes collections of furniture, lighting, objects, and wall panels with unexpected natural materials and refined hand techniques that have been used for centuries in Europe and Asia. Our minimal, organic and tailored designs show a contemporary reverence for rituals of craftsmanship and the energy that human skills impart into every piece.

A tall cabinet in parchment and polished brass. “I wanted the octopus to emerge from the depths through a forest of light-scattered coral beneath the ocean. To achieve this effect I developed a way to apply coral patterns onto the dark parchment while retaining the natural organic quality of the goatskins.” Interior lined with Ivory parchment. Finishes: Coral Parchment | Walnut

Shield and disc make an elegant sculptural surface. Irregular sheets of natural parchment, full of tonal variation, are laid over an asymmetrical slab and fully lacquered. The tables are lifted by five deeply textured bronze legs. A Black Marble oval rests on the top as a sculptural accent and 'tray'. The table also works beautifully when two are placed beside each other; skins and form reflecting with relaxed imperfection.
