Jono Hennessey is an Australian brand with a rich heritage going back to 1925 and it was one of my highlights from Paris. Above are some laminated fabric frames from the Art collection, which are simply excellent quality. A manufacturing method developed with Mazzucchelli in the 1980s ensures there are no threads emerging at the edges, which cannot be said for a few other fabric laminates I've seen of late.
And below is Rancho Deluxe. Inspired by Wild West belt buckles, the moulds took two weeks to hand carve. Limited edition runs and truly amazing to the touch.
