These include Mary's Chair, inspired by the deceptively delicate concrete architecture of The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco; Roche chair, a three-legged chair born of disparate influences including the aforementioned cathedral and a Spanish country chair occupying Hilton's parents' home since the 1970s; Irish chair, inspired by a vernacular Irish chair in the extended family's Scottish home; Bookcase, designed as a practical storage solution with sliding doors to provide playful aesthetic variety; and a special edition Mars Table. Sales queries for these five designs should be directed to: New Art Centre, Roche Court, East Winterslow, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5 1BG.
