Adam Richards Architects were commissioned to design a series of bedrooms within the Grade 2 listed Manor House at West Dean College. Their brief was to create simple, monastic-like accommodation for creative practitioners. The Valet Chair was ergonomically designed by Bob Pulley for working at a desk and also as a dresser to hang clothes on at bedtime. Under the seat there is a storage box for personal belongings such as keys, a purse, mobile telephones and a surprise gift.
