Ahead of the King’s Coronation tomorrow, Luke Hughes looks back to 2010 when he was commissioned by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey to design and make new clergy seating to be used on the newly restored Cosmati Pavement, one of the most important medieval floors in Europe, incorporating symbolic patterns and innumerable semi-precious stones.
The furniture was first used for the Pope's visit, then for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate, and has since featured in a number of official and state occasions, including the Queen's funeral.
