Description: | This collection represents the furnishings of the house at 2 Willow Road assembled by Erno Goldfinger and his wife, Ursula Blackwell. Much of the furniture is built-in to form an integral part of the structure, but is complemented by free-standing pieces, many of which were also designed by Goldfinger. His pieces were frequently created as prototypes for mass production, and he insisted on high standards of craftsmanship. Some pieces are notable for their successful incorporation of industrial components and new materials such as Bakelite and other plastics and Formica laminate.
