Dennis, ‘my guru’ - Sometimes it is difficult to pin-point a specific point, moment or person to identify as having the biggest influence on your creative ideas and ultimately the work you produce. In my columns in Reclaim, I have explained how I have drawn influences from everything from iconic chair designs to David Bowie. However, there is without doubt a single person who is responsible for not only the quality of the work I produce, but also why I love doing it. Dennis Gilligan was my mentor, co-worker and friend and it is with a heavy heart that this colourful character passed away at the age of 88 a few months ago. First, a bit of background on Dennis. I first met him in 2014 when he walked past the workshop and he introduced himself as 'a retired upholsterer'. Dennis left school at 14 to start working as an upholsterer while he also was a promising wrestler having followed in the footsteps of his brother, Stan. Dennis started wrestling when he was 20 years old, while training at the YMCA gym, which he still used up until he passed away in June 2019. He was three-time British Bantamweight champion, represented England in the 1968 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff and took part at the World Expo 1967 in Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1588759733986-U0KCMZ3FX63ZA220RFO7/Dennis+apron+photo+credits+Daniel+Walmsley+.jpg JOURNAL - Dennis, ‘my guru’ - During his full-time career as an upholsterer, he would start working at 7am and finish at 4pm before heading to the gym to hone his wrestling career. Dennis was diligent, hardworking and applied himself to whatever task he undertook. I called him 'my guru', for he was able to teach me things that money cannot buy. When I started my business, I wanted to work on vintage cocktail chairs from the 1950s however, I needed to know the correct processes and techniques.. I feel that chairs from this period deserve to be restored sympathetically to how they were produced in their original workshop. At the time it was difficult to find a course where I could learn these techniques because, largely speaking, people were mostly interested in learning modern upholstery processes. Traditional upholstery methods are often more costly and time consuming than modern techniques, however the finished quality of traditionally finished pieces, in my opinion, justifies the extra work, so I knew this is what I wanted to achieve. Dennis was the one who could show me these techniques, a good example being hand stitching. I was lucky enough to have one-on-one training with someone who had many years of experience of it. He drove me on and kept me interested in learning and was always coming up with new creative ideas. From that point on, whenever I needed any help, guidance or information, I would go to him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1588759976827-GVZZEHE39BMS3VUTZ6VI/Parker+Knoll+Statesman-+Photo+credits+Daniel+Walmsley+.jpg JOURNAL - Dennis, ‘my guru’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1588758037974-JUTRCKWOSQ6CAO2C70BT/historic+pictures+supplied+by+Dennis+Gilligan%E2%80%99s+family.jpg JOURNAL - Dennis, ‘my guru’ https://www.simionhawtinsmith.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2021-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578660774594-I8X3CNBYNZJ8KRIXNHMZ/IMG_5748+LR.jpg Home - UPHOLSTERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1569845942714-ZHM5DKVHPTJC1FQ0PGNT/BBC+Money+For+Nothing Home - TV & PUBLICATIONS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1586179141155-HO6MZ20SBR2AG7RAIVEY/IMG_9263.JPG Home - TUITION https://www.simionhawtinsmith.co.uk/pagetv daily 0.75 2020-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744426935-FHUN7QC04Y20AQADUKXC/IMG_8599.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744466066-58F6TU22MAKRH4DU2WOR/IMG_8606.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578743990311-ENOHYFSZX8D8E7TE9H16/IMG_5507.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744011530-CSFTSBAY79ZRAM1RBAT9/IMG_5348.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744722283-VSQE84GS0LNHC79SHF7D/Rainbow+chair.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744027240-EU5HPPY5AENKIR6MY2L7/IMG_5349.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578745064077-CZL5CBDTE6X0BAMS5FBM/IMG_8642+crop.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744314301-NYBXYSJ8G9KCAT16XOML/ACBE06AE-536D-4AD2-9890-BB2921F5BBC0+crop.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578745063665-Q5E4MU3AJD84O24Y71F4/IMG_8669+crop.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744314964-00IJYFK24SYNLDLY7BE8/262DB73E-A3FB-4939-BA9A-4F8BB5DE2588+crop.jpg TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578745145944-CWW7L007H6XIGNOHOJD0/3558c45d-14a3-4712-bc54-d00464e8656b.JPG TV & Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578744313692-9C4CDQA7SEIM8ASLEPOW/48388514-647C-40F7-AE2C-77EEA9A7328B+crop.jpg TV & Publications https://www.simionhawtinsmith.co.uk/publications daily 0.75 2020-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1578752151785-19WWU990MNV7OSCFQBXI/MAKE+IT+IN+DESIGN.jpg Collaborations - MAKE IT IN DESIGN ONLINE COURSES Recently launched are two collaborative online courses with Make It In Design where Simion and renowned surface pattern designer, stylist and coach Rachael Taylor show you everything you need to know in order to get started in the world of Surface Pattern Design, Sewing and Upholstery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1579088745441-8SHTIND48AZVLKYCTJ2X/STANLEY+CHOW+CUSHIONS.jpg Collaborations - STANLEY CHOW CUSHIONS A range of iconic scatter cushions from Simion’s collaboration with renowned Manchester based illustrator Stanley Chow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1583078633796-0SQZGOFH9SQ41G5V7HRL/JAY+%26+CO+TIMOROUS+BEASTIES+ERCOL.jpg Collaborations - JAY & CO X TIMOROUS BEASTIES You may recognise Jay & Co’s Jay Blades from the BBC’s ‘Money For Nothing’ and ‘The Repair Shop’.

Although you wouldn’t believe it now, these chairs had been left outside in a garden for quite some time, so were in need of some serious TLC! With a little help from beautiful fabric created by Bon Maison, as if by magic this project was completed just in time for Manchester Pride in 2019, which made for the perfect way to celebrate these joyous chairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1584563220697-1281GH10ODQNIMJEC08L/Charlotte+Beevor.jpg Collaborations - THE RECYCLED CHAIR PROJECT Introducing the Recycled Chair Project, a collaboration with award-winning Print Designer and Stylist, Charlotte Beevor. Charlotte and Simion both share a passion for upcycling and sustainability, so this chair made for the perfect team up. Charlotte's stunning fabric design was printed by Fashion Formula on a beautiful Eco Upholstery fabric made from recycled Polyester. This wonderful print contrasts brilliantly with the simplicity of the vintage Ercol Jubilee frame, and the recycled fabric makes for a fantastic upcycling story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d908cf419466c6dd3891391/1586962768080-FH5CGKFBOCS3HVD0HZD4/PATTERNISTAS+PARKER+KNOLL+ROCKER.jpg Collaborations - Patternistas Parker Knoll This Retro Parker Knoll Rocker was restored for the BBC’s Money for Nothing in collaboration with Sarah Moore.
