COCKTAIL HOUR

English furniture maker George Smith has enlisted the trained eye of London and New York-based designer Martin Brudnizki to create a cocktail furniture collection. Created with entertaining in mind and inspired by English country homes, the collection comprises three armchairs and two sofas, each named after old London members’ clubs, with soft undulating curves that make for the perfect place to relax, drink in hand. The Almack sofa (above), H75xw200xd70cm, costs £5,150 plus 14m fabric. Contact 020 7384 1004, georgesmith.com.
