Another Country Hardy Console

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 Console is a classic in the making. Two chair typologies from the 19th century, Thomas Hardy's birth century, inspired the Hardy Series: 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. You can see these reflected in the soft curves of the Hardy Console. For dimensions refer to the technical drawing below.
