“We try to approach form and function equally in paying tribute to the trees whose life we have the privilege to extend” There is fulfilment in the art of doing. Making furniture is busy, it is physical and often mentally demanding but for many artisan creatives there is a peace too, when absorbed in one’s craft. We believe there is no right or wrong approach when it comes to woodworking, what is most important is appreciation in the process, coupled with a curiosity for innovation.

Much of Anselm’s childhood was spent in his father’s antique restoration workshop. Coming face-to-face with over 4 centuries of fine furniture and learning a craft that would help preserve a heritage for the next generation to enjoy, was an inspiring antidote to the throw-away society beginning to take shape in the UK at the time. Today’s level of excessive consumerism is sometimes hard to comprehend and there is comfort in the knowledge that our intention is to create beautiful objects for people to enjoy for decades to come.
