Brief

Jona Hoad hopes to attract interest from councils, architects and specifiers with his Eco-Bench made from recycled plastic waste, which will have its first airing at the New Furniture Exhibition ’96. The exhibition also introduces Mark Gabbertas, who will be exhibiting an upholstered chair called Tubby, and Ash Design, which will launch new hi-fi units. Organised by the New Designers in Business Group, it will take place at the Ergonom Showroom, 365 Euston Road, London from 27 June to 25 July.
