Testimonial to the work of furniture designer and
maker, David Halcro.

I am an architect with a long standing interest in modern
furniture, For about a year my wife and I had been looking
for a unique sideboard.  During the 2006 Edinburgh Festival.
almost by accident, we came across the work of David
Halcro in an exhibition of Scottish furniture makers.
The wooden sideboard on display, the design of which was
influenced by David's interest in boat building,stood out
from all the other exhibits.  It was what we had been
searching for. We commissioned him to design and make
for us a similar sideboard to fit a particular space in our
entrance hall. It had to be longer than the one on display
and we also wanted matching storage bins on casters to
slide under it. David understood our requirements, exactly.
The sideboard and storage bins he produced attract more
comment from visitors to our home than our authentic
Eames lounge chair and ottoman, and Le Corbusier
chaise longue combined.
