It is difficult to place Adnet into a category: traditionalist, Art deco practitioner, modernist, modern humanist, and post-war visionary are all relevant labels. Although there are obvious contradictions between them, all are applicable and true.

Being such a versatile designer, Adnet's obvious choice of materials includes big a range of leathers. The versatility of the material allows for the creation of edgy pieces, as well as timeless and classic styles that would suit any contemporary or modern home.
