Introducing the 50th Anniversary Home Studio Collection 🎼
To celebrate 50 years of design and innovation, we’ve reimagined two of our most iconic products for today’s creative spaces - the Opera Stand and Opera Chair, now available in a refined champagne finish.
Originally designed for use in opera houses, orchestras, theatres, and recording studios around the world, these pieces have supported generations of professional performance. Now, they’ve been thoughtfully adapted for modern home studios and creative environments - where function and design matter equally.
Proudly made in the UK.
