Pli’s furniture is now available at Liberty of London

West Dulwich-based design studio Pli has started supplying its new range of bamboo and steel occasional tables to London’s iconic department store Liberty. The Whitechapel collection of coffee tables and side tables was inspired by the Utility Furniture Scheme which defined British furniture design of the 1940s and ’50s. Pli has combined sustainable raw materials with cutting-edge UK manufacturing to offer a range of Utility furniture for our times.

Whitechapel occasional tables at Liberty

The tables offer rounded corners and hidden joints to create a quietly elegant design that is also strong, sturdy and, above all, useful. The solid bamboo panels are naturally stain resistant and very hard wearing. The laser-cut pressed steel legs are powder-coated in either cream or black-olive colour-ways.

The Whitechapel tables can be bought at Liberty on Great Marlborough Street in London’s West End from June 2010.
