Alan Peters epitomises all that one expects of a craftsman; he is the revered elder statesman. Newly qualified designer – makers set out with the high ideal of possessing his quiet integrity. His clients will wait patiently until they head the top of his two-year waiting list. Throughout the fifty years that Alan has been involved in the industry his designs have moved confidently and inexorably towards the millennium. In 1990 he was awarded the OBE for his services to furniture design. Retirement, he tells me, is not part of his agenda and he is looking forward to producing his best work ever at a more leisurely pace.
