Sea Defence is a beautiful and functional collection of furniture to join the Matthew Hilton range.

This collection brings together the sculptural, strong and iconic nature of sea defences, creating elegant, usable functional pieces of furniture in a collection of coffee tables and wall mounted shelves. The collection is made up from the simple shape inspired by Sea Defences, objects themselves that have inspired Matthew Hilton.

The collection is made from American White Oak or American Black Walnut, favoured by Matthew Hilton.
