British designer Nick Munro

As I mentioned yesterday, we had an assignment to photograph one of the world's top designers, Nick Munro, as he visited the factory in Preston making furniture he has designed for the John Lewis Partnership.

We had fantastic day and all the craftsmen and other staff at the factory were really pleasant and helpful.

Nick Munro is a fantastic guy. So friendly and so talented and passionate about his work. It was a great honour and a real pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet and talk with him and to see some of his designs both complete and in production (fascinating to watch the furniture being made).

Here are just a couple of photos from yesterday
