Ethos:
Driven by a passion for handcraft, authentic design and sustainability.

Designed with passion:
Luke believes in the power of authentic design. Design that exemplifies the essential, expressing integrity, quality and meaning. Underpinned by material and user experience, his creative process unifies thinking and making. This is where authentic design is born.

Crafted by hand:
With a sense of pride, each piece is handcrafted for the love of the process and for the mastery of woodcraft. Craft is unmatched in its inherent value. Beyond the bespoke product, genuine value resides with me, the craftsman and the years devoted to perfecting my craft.

Created from wood:
Wood is both naturally beautiful and naturally renewable. Handcrafted wood products epitomize ethical and ecological principles and are a valuable long-term investment. Each piece of locally handmade furniture created is positive for the local community, society, and the environment.
