History

John Herbert played a pivotal role as the head designer of A Younger Ltd from 1955 to 1970, significantly shaping the company’s identity through his innovative designs. His leadership in the mid-1950s was instrumental in guiding Younger towards modernist furniture inspired by Danish design, which positioned the company as a pioneer among British furniture makers. Herbert’s exceptional talent was recognized in 1960 when he won three awards from the Furniture Makers’ Guild for a sideboard and two tables, including one from the esteemed Fonseca range. As the late 1960s approached, Herbert, alongside Alan Pledge—who joined the team in 1967/68—embarked on an exciting new direction for the company, leading to the successful design and launch of the Toledo range in 1972. This partnership marked a significant evolution in A Younger Ltd’s offerings, showcasing their commitment to innovation and quality in furniture design.
