Chameleonic Brief History
Tamara Longbottom formed Chameleonic Limited in 1995 as a showcase for young
designers. Since the early days in Covent Garden the business has gone from
strength to strength. In 2001 Colin Mortimer formally of Moultrie and Mortimer
became head of Chameleonics design team. Colin studied 3D Design at the Royal
College of Art and was sponsored by Pilkington's to research the potential of
glassworks in the architectural environment. He has won several awards most
notably the British Airways Young Designer Award for a collection of clad
furniture. Some of his work has been auctioned through Christies's.
Chameleonic is now based in Fulham with workshops in Acton and specialise in
producing individual work for urban chic bars and contemporary homes
worldwide. A large proportion of our work is designing exclusive pieces to highlight
any location.
During this period the company has had several exhibitions, which have proved
to be very successful and resulted in numerous orders and commissions from
trade and public, here and abroad. Clients include Barclays Bank, British
Airways, British Telecom, Cafe' Lazeez, Channel Four, Escoroma Coffee Company,
Institute of Chartered Acountants, Leiths, Libertys, London Fashion Week, Mercury
Communications, Royal Shakespeare Company, Selfridges, Sound - London, Virgin
Atlantic, Walt Disney as well as many breweries, architects , interior
designers and private collectors.
Chameleonic aims to be as adaptable as its name suggests. Chameleonics
collection provides a diverse selection and reflects the cutting edge of current
trends. All pieces are designed in-house and made to order giving you the
advantage of flexibility in specification of finish and size. Chameleonic can supply
designs for both modern and traditional schemes using a variety of materials
from wood, metal, glass and resin to rubber, leather, concrete and a selection
of different stone. As you see our work draws on a wealth of techniques and
styles.
Chameleonic has access to an extensive amount of glass and metal working
techniques including sandblasting, kiln forming, blowing, welding, C.N.C.
spinning, electroplating and casting, along with a full woodworking facility.
We try to produce work that is a piece of art in its own right as well as
being a functional item. There are no perimeters we accept commissions both
large and small, commercial and domestic. If you have an idea that you would like
to see realised then Chameleonic can bring it to life. We can provide you with
a complete service from consultation, design and prototype through to
manufacture and delivery throughout the UK.
There are no perimeters we accept commissions both large and small, and
guarantee that the work will be ready on time and within budget. Chameleonic can
also provide you with individually branded pieces using existing work or design
exclusive new branding concepts for your company.
We hope you enjoy the site and look forward to doing business with you in the
future. Please contact us to discuss any projects you feel we can help with.
If you would like to view some of our work in person please do call us to
arrange a meeting at our workshops in Acton.
