Don McCollin and Maureen Bryan’s partnership, established in 1988, enabled their individual design talents to spark off each other. Key to their practice is their interest in material, form and function through the use of cast resins and plasters combined with metals, wood and acrylic. Working with traditional materials they create bold and innovative contemporary pieces.
The Pebble coffee table is one such meeting of minds.
Scagliola (pronounced “scal-y-oh-lah”) is a centuries-old technique for creating surfaces that mimic fine marble and other noble materials. This decorative man-made plaster, used since the Roman era, enjoyed a renaissance in the 18th century. It can be used for sculpture, walls, columns, floors, fireplaces, table tops and bespoke furniture. An imaginary marble.

Bobbin Table
First made in 2008 in scagliola, the Bobbin table is now produced in our innovative eco epoxy resin. The hyperboloid form, popularised by Swiss designer Willy Guhl in 1950’s, is topped with a mirror which transforms the brutal shape to an elegant piece of furniture.

Suitable for outdoor use.

Minty Table
McCollin Bryan’s Minty Table is now made using bio-based resin formulated with renewable raw materials, incorporated with a resin by-product from their Lens tables to be mindful of the circular economy. It carries the same design impact as its predecessor in Scagliola plaster but is suitable for outdoor use due to the naturally hard-wearing properties of the materials.
The bio-based resin used in this piece is certified by the USDA BioPreferred Programme for reducing the environmental impact caused by petroleum-based resins, and the manufacturers are committed to participating in the “1% for the Planet” initiative, donating 1% of gross sales to environmental causes.

Longbeam Console
The Longbeam console table consists of contrasting Scagliola benches on thin Perspex supports. This asymmetric arrangement of weight creates an illusion questioning the perception of balance and structural impact.
