Johnny at his studio
normally start with a shape. The shape of old furniture is a constant inspiration. I enjoy taking something old and then updating it.� During our visit, Johnny took us to one of his favourite British haunts, Metro Retro, a warehouse filled with mountains of covetable vintage furniture. It was easy to see why he is so inspired by the shape and feel of old design.
This year Johnny is launching an impressive four
new collections. We had a sneak peek at Safe, which features chunky wooden cupboards constructed to look like retro metal safes, and Pashley, a range of chic black and neon pieces. Though increasing the website is the focus of his attention now, Johnny does have aspirations to have his own shop one day, so watch this space... www.johnnyegg.com www.metroretro.co.uk www.compasseslittleygreen.co.uk
