MATTHEW GOING ON

Peace in the workshop

A quiet moment of repose on a ‘winding yourself back up for it’ cold mid-January Saturday.

Showroom snaps. I love pottering down to the showroom in the village, nattering about strategies, designs, timbers & customers. A working life spent designing & making furniture in Wiltshire, writ large, with timber that comes as close to Wiltshire as I can find. I'm off out through the kindness of a friend & client so no more pontificating #lovenpeace #supportpeopleinsheds #supportyourlocaleconomy #cultureandcommerce #britishinteriors #interiors

Today's delivery. An oval table, originally designed for my own kitchen & now part of our Collection together with six 'Tricorn Cafe' chairs, delivered to the home of cherished clients who've been buying from us for decades. These are made in tiger oak. That's an oak whose roots have been colonised by the beef steak fungus (Fistulina hepatica). This reacts with the oak's tannin. Tannin is a natural preservative extracted from oak and used to tan leather. The fungi and its interaction with the tannin create a most wonderful colour change in the timber, altering it from a normal honey colour to the rich browns seem here. #commissionfurniture #supportpeopleinsheds #interiors #studiofurniture #handmade #handmadefurniture #englishfurniture #desingandmake #bespoke #bespokefurniture #supportloacaleconomy #local #localeconomy #lovenpeace

The 'Compass Table', 'leather Tricorn chair' & a 'pyramidalized , banded, bow-fronted chest-of-drawers, phew quite a mouthful. All pieces to be found in our collection in various guises. All made from local English timbers, all designed in Wiltshire & made in Wiltshire. Keeping the faith with making in the UK. All power to those that do make, despite the economy being slewed towards other priorities. My hat goes off to you all #interiors #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace #britishmakers #britishmaking #britishtimbers #handmade #studiofurniture #bespoke #keepontruckin #lovenpeace

Down to earth with some low tables, if you'll forgive the clumsy pun. Simple pieces to put your feet upon that usefully fill space, offer a convenient surface & even give presence to that gap between here & there. These two are from our collection & look even better with a @julie_ayton pot on 'em #lowtables #interiors #bespokefurnituredesign #studiofurniture #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace

On days like today I'm grateful to be working in a cosy workshop or studio. Here are a few shots of the latter mainly set about with my designs but also a bench of Katie Walker's, that we help to make. We are very proud to make some of Katie's work, she's a furniture designer whose work I really rate & whose ethos chimes with our own. @katiewalkerfurniture As yet, Katie, Alan Tilbury, Newport Street Gallery @newportstreetgallery_london & Nick Barberton @nickbarberton are the only designers we've shared our making skills with. All power to people in sheds. All power to British furniture design & making #britishfurnituredesign #britishfurnituremaking #bespoke #handmade #studiofurniture #britishcraftsmanship #britishcraft #britishartdesignandcraft #keepwarm #interiors

Touch of quirk tonight. A rather obvious but still pretty cool pun for a drinks cabinet. Made in tigered English oak with clean English rippled ash interior, glass shelves & a bronze base. Sometimes its impossible not to let your hair down. #drinkscabinet #interiors#englishinteriors #englishtimber #britishdesign #bespokefurnituredesign #commisionfurniture #studiofurniture #handmade #handmadefurniture #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace
