A spot of decorating tomorrow forced me to take down my head collection… They make quite a sight on zebra skin.

The mystery of the Arkana brand

Nicholas Spyer — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:27:48 +0000

Arkana is a brand shrouded in mystery – very little information is available on them outside of the main themes known to fans of 1960′s modernist furniture of the Eames era.

Arkana was based in Falkirk in Scotland, a family business with representation as far as Denmark.

What I do know is they made a wide range of beautiful chairs and furniture in conjunction with Maurice Burke - some nice examples of which are below. If you know more do get in touch and provide more information.
