Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Robson Reid (1925\u20131992) and Sylvia Reid, n\u00e9e Sylvia Mary Payne (1925\u20132022), were two British architects and designers who worked together from 1951. Their work encompassed architecture, interior design, furniture, and lighting. Consultants to numerous companies and institutions, they collaborated with clients including Rotaflex Lighting, British Rail, the Post Office, Thorn Lighting, and Stag Furniture. For Rotaflex, they explored the possibilities of cellulose acetate filament, developing lightweight, translucent lampshades suitable for mass production.<\/p>\n
