In this episode, award-winning designer Matthew Hilton talks about how furniture became his chosen subject, how he set up his own studio at a time when design in the UK had little status, how he developed classic designs such as the Balzac chair and the Antelope and Cross Extending Tables and how he has now realised a long-standing desire to become a sculptor.
