Award-winning
An original design by Timothy Oulton, The Aviator Tomcat chair was the winner of the Luxuria Award for Most Innovative Product Design in 2010. Daring yet timeless, it's one of our most iconic designs.
Spitfire Metalwork
Inspired by the famous fighter plane's multi-riveted construction and interlocking aluminium panels, Spitfire was created after founder Timothy Oulton acquired an actual plane wing at an antiques market.
The finishing requires a five-stage process to create the impression of worn, distressed metal. The touch of the craftsman's hand is evident from visible welding marks to rugged hand-distressing, to the intensive hand-polishing of the shiny steel. Spitfire is one of the most labour intensive to create.
