EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1928: A Serene Retreat for the Modern Man - Mans Study, an Exhibition at Waring and Gillow, Oxford Street Step into a tranquil and sophisticated world of quiet contemplation and intellectual pursuit, as we present a glimpse into the 'Mans Study' exhibition held at the esteemed Waring and Gillow furniture house on Oxford Street in November 1928. This photograph showcases a study adorned with English walnut ply walls, a testament to the new British furniture trend that was sweeping through the design world. The study, a complete home in the modern manner, boasts a simple style, free from mouldings or enrichments, allowing the beauty of the walnut ply to take center stage. The room's lighting is arranged purely for books and reading, casting a warm and inviting glow over the space. Waring and Gillow, a famous name in British furniture history, showcased this import from the 21st ILN (Illustrated London News) as part of their extensive collection. The exhibition marked a departure from the ornate and opulent styles of the past, embracing a more minimalist and functional approach that resonated with the modern sensibilities of the time. The walnut ply panelling, a novelty in the world of furniture, was a significant shift from the traditional mahogany or oak woods that had previously dominated interiors. The 7-inch thick plywood panels were imported from the United States, adding an air of international flair to the exhibition. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we can appreciate the timeless allure of a well-appointed study, a sanctuary for the mind and soul, where one can immerse themselves in the joys of reading and the pursuit of knowledge.
