online ebook by Jeremy Broun offered
free here:
Alan Peters OBE (1933 – 2009) was one of
Britain’s most prominent furniture designer
makers of the latter part of the 20th Century.
He apprenticed to Edward Barnsley and was
a direct link to The English Arts & Crafts
Movement. He was hugely influential
internationally in his practice, teaching and
publications. Above all, his respect and
understanding of how wood behaves and
the value of hand skill, yet moving tradition
forward, resulted in many timeless pieces. He
created affordable functional furniture that
was made to last, making an art of his craft in
some of his subtle innovations.
