Shop by Abel Sloane

Here’s a tumblr shop to bookmark. Abel Sloane who is, incidentally based close to Penge (the place is full of surprises), is a furniture maker / restorer who sells a bunch of stuff I’d love to buy. He has a particular knack for photographing chairs… tumblr_inline_mmkwa0rJmy1qhfvks
