Peter Haynes is a London-based designer and maker whose practice, A Collection Of, brings together hands-on fabrication, material study and photography. Working across furniture, storage solutions and homeware, he creates bespoke pieces for the home, the outdoors and the everyday journeys in between.
Usefulness sits at the centre of Peter’s approach, with objects designed with intention and longevity. Guided by a utilitarian and material conscious mindset, his work is shaped by an interest in how things are made, how they are used and how they quietly interact with daily life.

ACO. Shelving & Keyboard / Desk
Material: Birch Plywood
Surface: Tenere Formica
Finish: Bona Mega Extra Matt
Hardware: Lamello Connections, Blum Hinges & Runners
Features: Desk, Keyboard Pull Out Shelf, Cupboard Storage & Adjustable Shelving
Peckham, London
Grace wanted to make better use of the alcove in her Peckham flat, adding a simple workspace without it taking over the living room and ability to hide the screen away in the evenings.
The pull-out keyboard section gives a home to an rarely used instrument that was hidden under the sofa.
As the living room blends into the kitchen we kept everything quite shallow while leaving plenty of shelving left for her soft back books.
ACO. Home Desk & Storage
Material: White Pearl Valchromat
Finish: Bona Mega Extra Matt
Hardware: Lamello Connections, Blum Hinges & Hafele Loox Lighting
Features: Desk, Cupboard Storage, Shelving & Auer Euro Box Drawers
Camberwell, London
A first using the Pearl White Valchromat to design & build a ‘work from home’ setup and storage space in a spare bedroom.
An ultra matt finish gives a warm creamy glow to the naturally flecked material. The Auer euro boxes store cameras, audio, painting & sewing equipment.
Stage two of this space will be a modular bed frame to house MORE euro boxes for hidden storage.
Room decoration by @annierudnickpaints in @mylands_london Threadneedle & Empire Grey.

Hardware: Lamello Connections, Blum Hinges & Drawer Runners
Features: Hanging Bike Hooks, Adjustable Shelving & Cabinet Storage
Hackney, London
Theo & Conni are big into cycling, but parking their gravel bikes under a tarp on the balcony wasn’t quite cutting it.
So we built something better: a custom unit to bring the bikes indoors and make them a feature, not an afterthought.
Alongside space for books, vinyl, and a pull-out for the record player, everything fits neatly into the corner of their living room.
Now the bikes are part of daily life and hopefully inspiration for a few more weekend rides to the New Forest, the Welsh mountains, and beyond.
ACO. x Roads2Joya for SASA Sushi
Material: 18mm Birch Plywood
Finish: Osmo Poly X
Features: Perimeter bench seating - 20 Metres
Fabrics: Camira
Islington, London
I worked with Ayesha and Steph from @roads2joya to fabricate over 20 metres of seating for the new SASA Sushi restaurant on St John Street in Angel. Housed within a Grade 2 listed building meant tight constraints in the construction but together we worked as a great team to deliver before opening at the start of June.
They upholstered the seat backs & bottom pieces, and together we installed the seating around the perimeter of the space in two days.
