  CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE:
pause for thought
by Jonathan Howkins

Sustainability. 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.

    Pause for thought
It's more than just a name

Pause is the name of our first contemporary furniture collection. It's 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.
