The family-run British design studio Dare will be launching their new series of furniture at the 2011 London Design Festival next month, and here's a quick preview of a couple of pieces in their collection which caught our beady eye.

Their 'Hardy Wingback' armchair gets a definite thumbs up from us, with its retro lines and hand made beech frame. It comes in a range of upholstery options but we reckon you can't beat classic leather.

Secondly, their 'Jackson' coat stand will also be making an appearance at the festival - a good looking solid wood design which comes in either walnut or oak depending on your colour preferences and features six prongs to hang your coats and hats.
