For those who share our passion for furniture design throughout the centuries, the new Furniture Gallery at the V&A Museum is highly recommended.

The Gallery displays British and international furniture from the C15th to the present day and explores design, construction and decorative techniques over 6 centuries.
There are over 200 pieces of outstanding furniture on display, with designers ranging from Thomas Chippendale to Tom Dixon. 25 or so of the pieces are arranged in chronological order, with other pieces being arranged by technique. There is a clear emphasis on how things are made and the skills of the designers and makers. It is amazing to see centuries-old techniques still in use today.
