Another Country – Archetypal https://archetypal.hk Tue, 17 Aug 2021 05:34:21 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8 https://archetypal.hk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/favicon.png Another Country – Archetypal https://archetypal.hk 32 32 Syd Chair https://archetypal.hk/product/seating-beds/chair/syd-chair/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=syd-chair Tue, 17 Aug 2021 04:48:47 +0000 https://archetypal.hk/?post_type=product&p=76679 Inspired by the architecture of Luis Barragan, the Syd chair is of simple and archetypal construction, utilising white-oiled ash wood with a vegetable-tanned leather slung seat which will patina, age gracefully and get richer in colour over time.

My objective as a designer, says Aaron, is to produce pieces that will improve with use, like a good pair of shoes where the marks bear a story.

We say pull up a chair and settle in for the convivial evening (or leisurely lunch) with friends and family.

Gallon Side Table https://archetypal.hk/product/table/side-table/gallon-side-table/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gallon-side-table Thu, 12 Aug 2021 07:21:17 +0000 https://archetypal.hk/?post_type=product&p=76661 The lower version of the two, this Gallon Side Table is inspired by the traditional milk can, the containers used to transport small quantities of fresh milk from cow to consumer in the days before milk was produced at industrial scale.

Turned from a solid block of laminated ash and finished with a white oil and wax, each side table will look different and unique, and they are liable to split in places due to thickness of the block, but this is intentional.

Modern Farmhouse Settle https://archetypal.hk/product/seating-beds/bench/modern-farmhouse-settle/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=modern-farmhouse-settle Fri, 22 Jan 2021 08:26:54 +0000 https://archetypal.hk/?post_type=product&p=74706 Our Modern Farmhouse Settle is a contemporary take on an old vernacular design, complete with storage under the seat, and draws inspiration from the architecture and landscape of Dorset. Put it to work as a seating bench in the dining room or use it as a hallway or mudroom seat.

A settle is traditionally described as a long wooden bench with a backrest and arms originating in Europe in the 10th century. It was apparently derived from the chest, a resemblance often retained, with additional elements based on the monastic choir stall. The height of the backrest varied considerably and sometimes extended down to the floor.

By the 15th century, they had become standard articles of furniture in inns and taverns, whilst by the end of the 17th century domestic versions had nailed-on leather upholstery and for greater comfort the backrest was inclined, just like ours. It survived mainly in rural areas throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, before becoming popular again with the historicizing movements in design during the early part of the 20th century, especially in the United States.

Made of solid oak and designed by Fred Rigby for Another Country.

Hardy Bar Stool https://archetypal.hk/product/seating-beds/stool/hardy-bar-stool/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hardy-bar-stool Fri, 17 Jan 2020 09:20:16 +0000 https://archetypal.hk/?post_type=product&p=40245 An elegant tall bar stool with back, the Hardy Bar Stool is a classic in the making.

Old Furniture, a poem by Dorset born Thomas Hardy, is an ode to beauty of furniture being handed down the generations, and David Irwin’s Hardy Barstool is a classic in the making.

Two chair typologies from the 19th century, Thomas Hardy’s birth century, inspired its design: firstly the Captain’s chair originally a low-backed wooden armchair and secondly, the Smokers bow, a low back Windsor, often used in smoking rooms, public houses, barbers shops and cottages.
