Andrew Varah

To meet this gentleman away from his workshop would give you no indication of the imaginative nature of his mind, but meet him in his design studio with photographs of his work on the walls and you begin to understand that commissioning from Andrew Varah could be fun. Like the currency broker who asked for his dining room furniture to reflect his profession. The client was presented with the drawings for the ‘Card’ table and chairs, perfectly encapsulating the element of chance in his occupation. The fun does not stop there, all significant pieces of furniture have a secret compartment containing an item of jewellery. Clients are given a year to solve the mystery, otherwise, rumour has it, Mr. Vorah will reveal all and remove the prize.
