A classic and underappreciated British company PEL, Practical Equipment Ltd, was set up as a subsidiary company of Tube Investments, a metal tube manufacturer who was looking for new applications of their tubing.
Very much running alongside the industrial design movement of Bauhaus, PEL mass produced the classic tubular farmed seating which will be forever a part of British design, supplying volume canvas chairs to the Ministry of Defence and Wimbledon. PEL ceased trading at the end of the twentieth century but its chairs are still regularly uncovered in community halls throughout the UK.
