One piece at a time

Sculptural furniture, built up in layers and carved down by hand. Commissioned work from a workshop in Preston, Lancashire.

Waiho — a console table in pale ash, its thin cantilevered top carried above a curling ribbon leg.

Between sculpture and furniture

Every piece is made to commission, from solid timber. Curves are bent from many thin layers drawn round a former; heavier forms are carved out of thicker boards glued flat, one on another, until the shape comes out of the block. Either way it is worked back by hand until the whole thing reads as one continuous gesture.

It is slow. What you get at the end of it is a piece that exists once.

Tell me what you have in mind

The room, roughly what the piece is for, and the timber you have in mind. There is no form to fill in — I answer everything myself.
