How it Works

History & Values

History

Paul Shenton, Slot System's designer, struck upon the concept in 1998 having just moved into an unfurnished attic flat that was on the 4^th floor and only accessible via a narrow and twisting staircase.

Paul trawled round the shops looking for furniture that he could firstly afford and, secondly, actually get up the stairs into his new flat, but could find nothing suitable.

A further complication was that this flat was only going to be Paul's temporary home. It was one thing getting furniture into the flat, but how was he going to get it out when he moved.

He set about designing his own simple range of furniture, the key factor being that it must be easy to assemble and as easy to take apart. The simplest solution was to create items of furniture whose components could be connected using a system of slots. Armed with only a jigsaw and a few pieces of mdf he created the first of many slot sofas.

And so the SlotSystem™ was born!
