Mark Gabbertas
Mark Gabbertas came to the world of furniture design late and in a circuitous way…. foregoing any formal design training.
Instead, he learnt his trade as an apprentice cabinet maker with various workshops before establishing his own designer-maker practice at the famous Oblique Studios in Dalston in the 1990’s.
The first chair he ever designed, for an award-winning design for a Soho restaurant in 1995, was put into production by Allermuir, which was the start of a collaboration spanning 30 years, and the first step towards an emphasis purely on furniture design. In 2000 he established the Gabbertas Studio and opened a further studio in Milan in 2020. The Studio works with a series of brands internationally and has conceivably developed a focus on the hospitality, corporate and outdoor furniture sectors.
