LUCENT SMALL SIDE TABLE
Designed by Matthew Hilton
The Lucent Small Side Table is a modern design that is slender and simple in its appearance and overall look.
This reliable design by Matthew Hilton highlights the perfect balance of a contemporary look combined with practicality, making it an ideal piece of furniture to invest in.
The precise joining of the glass panels at right angles gives this Lucent Small Side Table a unique, prominent and warm effect as the translucent panels overlay darken the shades.
The top and base panels feature a curved edge made from tempered glass, providing extra sturdiness to deal with the demands of busy, family life.
DESIGNER
MATTHEW HILTON
Matthew Hilton believes in creating furniture that people live with, and his inspiration often comes from long-established furniture forms.
“All of my pieces are loaded with meaning and memory and are very personal to me,” says the British designer.
From an early age, Hilton was interested in painting, sculpture and architecture, and yet the notion of being a designer didn’t occur to him until it was suggested by a tutor at Portsmouth College of Art.
The idea suited Hilton, who enrolled in the renowned Furniture and Design course at England’s Kingston Polytechnic. After graduation he worked as an industrial designer and model maker until 1984 when he set up his own design studio and workshop.
Two years later he launched a series of shelves at the Milan Furniture Fair, and in 1991 he designed the Balzac Armchair, which was first received with circumspect curiosity but then quickly embraced as a modern classic.
Matthew Hilton doesn't believe in design movements, and he really doesn't like the concept of design as a fashion. Rather, he thinks the design process is part of the evolution of any object through history.
Designing with the end user in mind, and whether that means a household of ten or one, he takes pleasure in finding the fluid, easily adaptable solution to fit today's domestic spaces. Since the Balzac, however, Hilton’s work has taken on a less stylistic, more functional approach.
He believes in creating furniture that people live with, and his inspiration often comes from long-established furniture forms. He now works to update and reinvent these forms, while keeping an eye on the future.
In 2006, Hilton’s Cross Extension Table won the annual Elle Decoration Design Award for Best in Furniture. The table showcases Hilton’s advanced wood manufacturing techniques, as well as his sense of proportion, scale and functionality.
Hilton has learned from every piece he’s designed, whether it was because it allowed him to work in a new material, with a new manufacturer or for stylistic reasons. “All of my pieces are loaded with meaning and memory and are very personal to me,” says the British designer.
Now regarded as one of Britain’s most esteemed industrial designers, Matthew Hilton’s furniture is displayed in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Geffrye Museum and the Manchester City Art Gallery.
