naughtone raises the bar

The Parlour is a 300-cover bar/restaurant situated within one of London’s largest landmarks, One Canary Wharf. Naughtone worked closely with the designers to utilise a rustic yet modern style. The Parlour consists of a main restaurant complete with long party tables, a cocktail lounge, mezzanine area for private events and 68-cover alfresco area leading onto Canada Square Park.
White Ped tables were carefully chosen for their simple, understated form. This is complimented throughout by the elegant wire framed Reg chair range. Different citrus colours were used to add vibrancy to the interiors and cleverly separate the interior/exterior spaces.The result is stunning, unique interior which performs well as a flagship for the rapidly growing bar franchise.

Executive Reception Area designed to minimise environmental impact.

naughtone worked with a local designer to create a classic executive reception area for their £10 million redevelopment of Toronto Square. The brief demanded a sophisticated space for the building’s main reception gateway by using distinguished and refined furniture pieces.
Toronto square has excellent sustainability credentials which naughtone are proud to support. The building recently received a top rating for its environmental performance. Becoming the first extensive redevelopment/refurbishment project it the city to achieve an ‘excellent’ REEAM rating.
naughtone continues to reduce the environmental impact of our products. Our frames can be supplied with FSC certified hardwoods and carbon neutral fabrics. Our manufacturing efficiencies continue to develop and as with all naughtone pieces, the range is designed and manufactured locally in the UK. This ensures manufacturing miles are kept to an absolute minimum. The Cyde chair was originally designed especially for the BBC who fell in love with the shape of naughtone's portion range but preferred a more formal upright seating position. The resulting Clyde has been a successful choice for unique executive areas ever since.
Clyde compact was used due to its defined and distinctive profile; which is then complimented by the luxurious and comfortable buttoned seat. In this instance Black JMT Leather was used to contrast with the white interior and coffee tables to great effect.
the naughtone team share a passion and expertise for furniture and architectural interiors. It is this enthusiasm that helps us to offer the best possible service to all our friends and clients. If you think we could help with a current project then feel free to ring our helpful team on +44(0)113 242 7403.

Pollen Stool and Table

OFFICIAL 2009 LAUNCH
naughtone is proud to announce our newest product for 2009. Designed by award winning British designer David Fox, pollen is a dynamic breakout seating system that can be creatively configured to suit any corporate, public or educational space.Pollen’s obvious tessellation capabilities follow naughtone’s approach to graphic, approachable products. The hexagon is a natural shape to repeat and create patterns with. We hope it will obsess others as it has naughtone, to move the shapes around and lock them into place.
Pollen is a response to a growing need for loose furniture in open spaces that can be reconfigured, create a lively atmosphere and above all perform. The limitless configurations allow the pollen to adapt to any interior, be it a winding meander amongst high columns or a group of clusters in an open space.
Pollen is available on two styles of base and has a comfortable upholstered seat. The table pieces use the same options and tessellate perfectly with the stools. A wide variety of upholstery finishes and table surfaces are available.
