Chris has extensive experience in furniture design, interior design and specification sales.

What inspires you?

Architecture and design are close to my heart. I have always enjoyed the sale of products to designers more than the design process on its own.

As a salesperson, collaboration with architects and designers gives you the privilege to be connected to the bigger picture of urban design and the many talented people in the industry.

Your favourite product and why?

Classic Plaza Seat. Versatile, practical, good-looking and a timeless product.

The seats can be modified to suit any need, such as DDA compliance, external power supply for students at Sydney University, and any installation situation.

Five years on from installation: Classic Plaza Seats at Mission Dolores Park, San Francisco.

In 2016 Plymouth University delivered The Natural Connections Demonstration project, the UK’s largest OL project, and found new evidence showing benefits of OL for schools relating to health, wellbeing and development for students – with additional positive impacts for teachers and the wider school community.
