Warm weather eh? Makes me think of the big outdoor

Warm weather eh? Makes me think of the big outdoors & buildings we've designed & made for it. Back in the 80s with recessions coming like the 49 bus, we diversified into anything woody in order to survive. We came up with these timber structures that we grandly titled 'Fantasy Pavilions'. They were designed with children in mind but knowing that it would be the adult that had to live with them as much as the children. They were made from first & second thinnings of plantation grown trees that are harvested at various stages to allow/give space for others to grow on into mature trees. Most of the thinnings were going for fence post or nowadays chipped for power generation!!! We thought we could do something a little more imaginative with them. Needless to say I got their costings wrong & although we sold enough to fight another day, we didn't make our fortune. They took us all over the UK & into hallowed locations. We are refurbishing some of them nearly forty years later. We made them from locally grown larch & douglas fir, both of which are durable & it paid off. We have just supplied costings for a new 'Seven-roomed Fantasy Pavilion' & a cricket pavilion, so they live on @thehurlinghamclub & many other places#onwardupwardandbeyond #thegreatoutdoors #supportpeopleinsheds #britishtimber #childrensplayhouses #playhouses #phewitshot #thankgoditsfriday #letsallgowild #gnttime #lovenpeace #gardenpavilion #treehouse

That weekend round up, witnessing & basking in the work of our workshop purring along under the input of magnificent makers. The added & synergistic ingredient is the 'design & make' element that all in the workshop are steeped in. Roll river roll. The real triumph would be, being able to get that message out & about? #designandmakefurniture #studiofurniture #studiomadefurniture #commissionfurniture #buyfurniture #visitwiltshire #visithindonandtisbury #supportlocaleconomy #supportpeopleinsheds #handmade #artandcraft #artcraftanddesign #lovenpeace

Places to rest weary behinds, give the tired legs

Places to rest weary behinds, give the tired legs a break, to sit and stare, muse or converse, take in the surroundings, put the world to rights, watch sunsets, sunrises or outstanding art, to stare upon staggering antiquity, to scrabble around in the bag trying to find the phone, car keys or peace of mind. Public seating is always welcome. Here are some of ours all dedigned and made in our Wiltshire Studio & Workshops. @ashmoleanmuseum @coutauld @nationalmuseumwales @surrey_hills_arts @fstonehbourarm ,all places well worth a visit and all places we feel amazingly privileged to have designed and made benches for #publicseating #museumseating #ashmoleanmuseum #courtauldgallery #courtauld #nationalmuseumwales #folkestoneharbourarm #surreyhills #britishdesignandmaking #britishdesign #britishmaking #britishstudiofurniture #britishmuseums #bitishart #britishantiquity #supportpeopleinsheds #enjoyyoursummerholidays #lovenpeace

Some dressers I've designed over the decades. I'll leave you to decide which was in which decade. The one with the carved sycamore ropes is known as 'The Galleon Dresser' by some & 'Ship of Fools' by others. The elm cabinet sporting a dish with the Benedictine motto 'Laborare est orare' is The 'Mary Osborn Archive Cabinet' for the @stantonguildhouse , a story in itself that'll keep for another day. The 'Laid Back Dresser' & its chip-carved companion, 'Leggy' are soon to appear within our Collection about which I'll be making a big song 'n' dance, in the autumn. The tall, glazed, serpentine fronted & topped walnut, sycamore & silver dresser was designed to sit in an alcove of a local & exquisite Georgian house. Sometimes the kitchen cabinet has to give way to its older sartorial sibling, the dresser #commissionbritishfurniture #britishstudiofurniture #buybritishfurniture #buybritish #supporttheartisans #supportpeopleinsheds #britishartcraftanddesign #britishdesign #britishmaking #britishcraft #britishart #visitwiltshire #lovenpeace

We’re still revelling in & reeling from the excitement of installing the @birdandcarterwilton farm shop. I should imagine they're happy to have customers again after their brave shut down and refurbishment. They were the most trusting of clients and went for all our ideas, bringing their colours, patience & contents to help the project synergistically ignite. #farmshops #localproduce #localeconomy #localcommerce #localculture #artdesigncraftandcommerce #buylocal #investlocal #enjoylocalproduce #supportpeopleinsheds #studiofurnitute #studiodesign #britishmade #britishfurniture #bespokefurniture #britishdesignandmake #lovenpeace
