The College commissioned the practice to design the furniture for the new rooms. The chair and table shown here were designed in mahogany with a blue horsehair fabric for the upholstery. The carpet was also designed and specially made for the room.

The furniture in the Pennethorne Gallery, which includes benches, display cases and screens, was designed as a matching set that could be used in any of the gallery spaces. The screens, however, can only be used in the Chambers Gallery, so as to increase the wall space available for the display of works of art. The design of the legs is developed from ancient Roman and Greek prototypes.

This bed, together with the tripod tables, the light fitting and the curtains, were designed to give the East Bedroom a flavour of ancient Greece. The design of the bed was inspired by a Roman bed from Pompeii, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
