Business Description

A well known designer and maker of fine, free standing, bespoke furniture. I formed the business in 1975 and during the next 30 years won major commissions for public and corporate organisations.
Currently I have reduced the scale of my work to more domestic furniture commissions.

Business Services
I take on commissions to design and make, in my own workshop, fine pieces of contemporary furniture to meet clients requirements.

I use traditional materials and construction and make pieces that will become the antiques of the future.
