Looking out for our Designer-Makers and clients in projects
Looking out for our Designer-Makers and clients in projects

Working with designers throughout my career since the mid 80s I’ve seen most scenarios there could be playing out around designer-client engagement and the resulting dynamics and behaviours that are formed between them. Everything I’ve learnt about working with designers, client service, process, project management and being proactive is now poured into Teer & Co to the betterment of how custom and bespoke projects run and how we look out for both our Designer-Makers and clients by taking the middle ground and steering the proceedings.

Here's a stunning installation made in February at a private villa in France of the beautiful Decorative Panelling we offer in our Collection. These panels are typically used for interiors, however this example of an exterior installation was applied by the customer to his front door using our detailed guidelines. Makes quite an impactful first impression, and certainly brings a touch of glamour!

New for 2022: Auckland Cabinet and Kingslee Side Table (live edge)

Delighted to kick off the new year by sharing a couple of new pieces we've introduced to the Collection, which can be customised to specific proportions or timber preferences if required.

The Auckland Cabinet combines a clean minimal outer case in fumed oak with large chamfers that lead into subtly textured ebonised slatted doors that slide across the opening giving flexible storage options.

The Kingslee Side Table (live edge), designed with an art-deco vibe, has bent laminated fumed oak legs with brass splines for strength. It incorporates a section of live edge, a nod to the natural form and material being used and a beautiful contrast to the defined and crafted base.

CNN Health on Biophilia and 'How to bring nature into your home and feel better'

Interesting short film by CNN on Biophilic Design and 'how to bring nature into your home and feel better', especially for me noting Tip 4 (2.57 into the movie) and the use of natural materials.

Oliver Heath, who I met through his involvement in Planted at King’s Cross in September, reminds us of research on the use of timber and its ability to positively affect our physiological response to a space.

With our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation and wellbeing in our WFH lives at its core, we’re on a mission to stimulate ‘movement for your health’ as we cannot ignore the health risks associated with sedentary working and sitting down for prolonged periods.

So I was chuffed to discover this recent podcast Stand Up from the highly respected science presenter, journalist and executive producer Michael Mosley on sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting time and the importance of standing and movement for our health.

Innovative functionality, easy manual transition
Innovative functionality, easy manual transition

To our knowledge, TeeBeu is the first solid timber desk and stool design that combines to create an integrated sit-stand workstation. The clever-simplicity with our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation lies in the dual-purpose design of the adjustable-height stool, and its integration with the desk on which the stool is placed for stand-working. The manual transition from sitting to stand-working is simple, takes just seconds, stimulates added movement and is good exercise for varying posture throughout the day.
