WHO'S NATHAN? Nathan furniture was set up in the early 1900s and manufactured furniture from their British base. Nathan really started to become a major player in the UK furniture market from the 1960s onwards, when THE CATALOGUE This 1974 catalogue is full of Nathan's classic 1970s teak furniture.

In some pieces, the Afromosia’s tonal differences to teak were used as design tools - for example on Nathan Nathan often stained their solid afromosia frames to be closer to teak. I can only assume this was due to supply - I recall one 1980s Nathan furniture catalogue actually specifying Brands such as Nathan, G Plan and Mcintosh - all commonly sold by urbn nest - all feature Afromosia frames
