Thanks for looking in. The pictures show furniture and objects designed by Roger Estop and made mainly from plywood or adapted domestic items.
This is furniture exploring the everyday, inspired by utility and uselessness, finding delight in simplicity, provoking a double-take.
Each album on the right gives a little information about each item. More about the objects, exhibitions and background can be found on the information page.
