This pair of chairs, with oak feet and cloth coating, is a notorious example of late Art Nouveau furniture. Its designer, Auguste Endell, made a reputation as an artist, an architect and a writer. He was a leading figure of the Jugendstil movement, which combined German expressionism and Art Nouveau. These two chairs, created by the end of his career, translate his ideas of a mobile space onto functional furniture. The upper part of the chair’s back constitutes arguably the most visually intriguing and dynamic component of the object. The red and white stripe pattern creates a hypnotizing effect that adds vigorousness to the piece. Exhibitions: ‘Berlin und der Jugendstil’, Haus an der Redoute, 18th Berliner Theaterwoche, Bonn, May 9 -June 15, 1980.

In 1981, Brian was commissioned to design and fabricate a stained glass artwork for the Grade II-listed Jewell and Withers Building at 22 Endell Street in Covent Garden. Located on the corner of Endell Street and Betterton Street, the early Gothic Revival polychrome brick building was the former location of the Lavers and Barraud stained glass studio, designed by Jewell and Withers in 1859 for the notable Victorian glassworks. Part-funded by the Crafts Council of Great Britain, Clarke's modern stained glass gable window, located on the Betterton Street elevation and visible along much of Endell Street, fills what was the 19th century workshop's viewing window. The colour scheme was derived from Clarke's analysis of Lavers & Barraud's own colour palette, and the work was designed to be as striking by daylight viewed from outside – through its sculptural use of leading and triple-flashed opalescent glass – as from within, and to have a nocturnal presense, like a colourful beacon, when lit internally at night.
