Pause for thought
It's more than just a name
Pause is a system of shelving and storage options for lounge and home office situations. With an enduring aesthetic, the range is designed with a fundamental consideration of all aspects of sustainability.The name was chosen as a reflection of the prevalence of electronic media, shorter product life-cycles and the unresolved environmental consequences.
The choices of solid timber rather than veneers; repairable wax oil finishes; and a local manufacturing base, are driven by the unique proposition that OTTO maintains a life-long relationship with the furniture it produces.
The range combines solid European Oak shelves and carcases with structural elements manufactured in stainless-steel. All the pieces are available in two standard widths of 160cm and 240cm, with fully adjustable shelves. The concealed light fittings at the back of the units provide ambient lighting as well as illuminating drawer interiors.
The Pause collection will be available from London retailers Geoffrey Drayton and Viaduct from January 07.

Good & Gorgeous?
Creating innovative product that don't add to landfill
Our launch exhibition is well under way now in London's East end.Last night was the press and private view - the place was buzzing - there were 80 designers showing new products, innovations and ideas - all taking thier own interpretation on sustainability and how to reduce landfill.
The exhibition, entitled Good & Gorgeous, is now in its second year - this year it's bigger and better with some truly stimulating product ideas which really demonstrate that we can create products that are both good environmentally, and yet still very desirable and gorgeous.
I would like to have the space to show everything in this lens, but there's just too much - below are a few pics from Flickr.
