John Hutton
1947 - 2006
Ensemble by John Hutton has achieved international acclaim through John’s talent for designing furniture that is both visually stunning and beautifully comfortable.
John Hutton is America’s pre-eminent furniture designer. His award winning work is characterised by quality, glamour and an elegant simplicity. While his vision was completely modern, he had a long-standing love affair with classical forms and proportions. In addition to the profound historical influence of the Age of Enlightenment and specifically the work of sixteenth century architect Palladio, John also drew inspiration from travel, museums, music, people and sailing.
His personal genius lived in the
alchemy of transforming the
conventional into the extraordinary through combining contemporary design
with a classical foundation.
John Hutton designs for individuals, not
for the market, demonstrating a personal
modesty that belies his fame as a world
class design leader.
