View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Dean WatsonAbout Dean Watson : Sole Furniture design and manufacture unique freestanding furniture items. They let the materials and required manufacture processes play a key role from start to finish in the concept development stages of each piece. The result is very unique and modern, clean lined and often minimalist furniture, that is not only of sound build quality but is also extremely cost effective to manufacture.
Design to me is not really about thinking outside the box but rather taking a much longer look inside the box.
