The objects we use every day shape our experiences. John Allen's work playfully challenges our preconceptions of furniture, sparking pleasure in the absurd and stimulating a more powerful relationship between user and object. This furniture wants to be looked at, sat on, turned on and used. Through embracing reclaimed materials and rejecting mass production John's work maintains an environmentally considerate approach and a return to the unique.

"The aim is to make one-off pieces of furniture that leap away from the norm, bringing the bold and unusual into people's homes." JA
