Fairlie Furniture are heavily featured, so Kenny will be packing his Kilt and jetting out to represent both us and the Scottish craft industry as a whole.In fact, now that I think about it we should probably have done some phone calls and form filling to see if Holyrood would sponsor our trip to Holywood – after all we’re doing our bit for Scottish luxury exports, the least Alex Salmond could do is upgrade Kenny to business class.
If that’s asking a bit much in these straightened times, how about premium economy?. OK…how about a few free drinks on the plane then? Oh … milk and two sugars then.
We shipped out a container of samples earlier in the summer, you can see some of the photos below. We designed and produced the Whisky table and chairs specifically for their store as a stand-out permanent feature.
Both the table and the chairs incorporate actual whisky casks that were used in the production of Duncan Taylor’s fine cask strength whisky. The leather upholstery on the chairs is by the same company who provide the leather for Aston Martin sportscars. Truly Luxury from Scotland. There will be more on this story as it pans out.
Also shipped out was a sideboard and some very stylistically unique wardrobes. We will try and get some photos of those too.
The grand opening ceremony is taking place in the first week of October. Very exciting to be moving into international waters, and to be representing Scottish craft and cabinet making.
