Description
This bookcase is made from solid oak with oak veneers to give a quality, robust finish. Four shelves provide versatile storage options so you can display a mixture of books and home accessories for a striking display piece. This display unit requires attaching securely to a suitable wall. The result of close to twenty years' development, Duhrer is the innovation of Brighton-based furniture designer and maker, John Weaver. His idea to reveal the furniture's functional elements as an aesthetic device, has inspired a collection of pieces whose exposed drawers present the intrinsically beautiful detail of features often concealed. John's initial concept has effortlessly transferred to a wider collection of living and dining furniture. The end frame geometry of which, interestingly resembles the monogram of 16th century artist, Albrecht Durer - giving the range its name. Each piece, realised in solid and visually stunning American white oak, is intended to be treasured and handed down from generation to generation. Manufacture marries the use of the most modern and accurate machinery, with traditional hand-making skills of expert craftsmen, ensuring Duhrer's quality and durability will stand the test of time.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
