HANDMADE PRODUCTS

Grazing Boards

Handmade from recycled timber with locally forged steel scrolls. The varied shapes and sizes make these grazing boards perfect for entertaining, whether it’s cheese for two or a platter for twenty. The scrolled handle design creates a reversible board for carrying and displaying. All boards are individual and one-off designs.
Connect Collection

By embracing the past using recycled and salvaged timbers, this collection is inspired by soulful, heartfelt memories. Designs are simple and earthed. From sculptural forms to organic curves, all are a little bit artsy. Range includes: Organic Grazing Boards; ‘Comfort Candle Holders’ and ‘Moment Vessels’.
Recycled Timber Side Tables

Lovingly designed and handmade with care, our recycled timber side tables are crafted in my home studio in small-batch quantities. Sourcing timbers from salvage yards, demolition factories or houses, the individual characteristics of the timber result in each one being unique, just like the spot they sit in your home.
Macrame Wall Shelves

A wall shelf combining recycled timbers with recycled cotton, handmade in our Studio in small batch quantities. Easy to hang, macrame adds texture and softness blended with natural timbers. A nichè shelf for those walls forgotten!
