Portfolio Soft

Once upon a time Angela Gidden was a furniture designer specialising in upholstery design. Essentially, it's where our attic 2 Studio's roots are. As an established designer in the U.K Angela has been designing furniture commercially since 1986 when she joined the Christie Tyler Group as Assisitant Designer within Outline Upholstery. Staying within Christie Tyler Angela became Design Director of Enigma Designs Ltd designing sofas and sofabeds for lifestyle retail brands Habitat, Ikea, Laura Ashley, Next and many others. In 1993 Angela set up DFTA design consultancy which has evolved into attic 2. Here's a snapshot and mix of archived furniture we call 'Soft'.
