John & Sylvia Reid Collection

john and sylvia reid were design pioneers of british mid-century modern furniture in the 1950s and 60s, with their original pieces still much sought after by collectors. a total of 13 pieces from their 1960s s-range are being re-issued in a project overseen by dominic reid, the son of john and sylvia reid. the pieces will be made by nathan furniture, owned by nicholas radford, son of the original 1960s manufacturers. john and sylvia reid’s inaugural c-range comprised of a collection of modernist inspired bedroom furniture, and achieved great commercial success as well as meeting with the approval of the design fraternity of the time. the s-range, launched in 1960, was their first dining and living room collection, and was described as having “simplicity of statement, (and) an intelligent approach to flexibility and attention to detail.”
