From the world of just plain interesting, we find this story from the United Kingdom of a Harris Tweed blazer boosting furniture sales for a British furniture supplier. After all, who doesn’t love Harris Tweed?
A chance meeting with a man sporting a Harris Tweed jacket in Paris, has helped boost a Preston-based furniture maker' business back to boom.
Today at the UK's major furniture exhibition in Birmingham, Tetrad will launch a new range of Harris Tweed furniture described as "mid-century modern" in style.
The company uses "traditional hand build craftsmanship and the best materials". It claims its unique collaboration with Harris Tweed Hebrides is a "flagship partnership for British manufacturing" linking traditional craftsmanship in different parts of the country and exporting to more than 50 overseas markets.
