"Richard Deacon (born 1949) is widely regarded as one of the principal British sculptors, best known for his innovative use of open form and his interest in materials and their manipulation. For more than two decades, Deacon has created unique sculptures in a wide range of materials such as laminated wood, polycarbonate, leather, cloth and ceramic. Working on both a domestic and monumental scale, his structures combine organic and biomorphic forms with elements of engineering." www.tate.org.uk

"Born in Northern Ireland, I was sponsored to New Zealand in 1958 to run a textile company. Do-it-yourself New Zealand had a real appeal for me.
The textile business returned me to Europe often. I was to find furniture increasingly more interesting than textiles and after 20 years I needed to change direction, so decided to design and make furniture in New Zealand. Rejecting the notion that timber-based furniture was the only option, I decided that the furniture would be steel-framed, starting with trolleys then on to shelving, desking and tables. I manufactured on Ponsonby Road opening my showroom in 1981. It never entered my head to make other than high quality. The company began to build a valuable client base on that philosophy. I developed early rules of integration between my designs which were to become evident in later years." www.michaeldraper.co.nz
