From contemporary to very traditional pieces, the Long Eaton Guild, as depicted in the Autumn/Spring exhibitions, has a design at the centre of each piece produced by all the members. For each furniture piece made, each Long Eaton Guild member takes a thoroughly considered approach. Each exhibitor has to consider function and form, empathy and aesthetics, beauty and lifestyle.
