Introducing the Halia Mirror. The piece combines fumed oak with Dumfries Red, a Scottish
conglomerate stone with tones of red, grey and blue. Curved elements of each material form an
abstract composition around the mirror’s reflective surface, framed by a slim patinated brass surround.

This was a really enjoyable piece to design and make, exploring how the two natural materials
can come together to create pattern…and nice to bring some more colour into our work.

Dimensions: 1500mm x 900mm

This is one of four new pieces we’ve made with , celebrating British wood
and stone, now up on our website. The mirror is also on display in their Chelsea showroom if
you’re nearby and want to take a look.

Introducing the Altor console — a new take on our Altor dining table.

The piece combines Anglesey stone with a base in English pippy oak, shaped into a sculptural, asymmetrical form.

This was one of four pieces we showed last month at , in collaboration with , each celebrating British stone and wood. Thank you to everyone who came by the show — we loved chatting with you all.

Two more new pieces on the way soon.

A first look at our Uma coffee table, one of the four pieces we’ll be presenting this week at Material Conversations, our exhibition for London Craft Week in collaboration with .

Creating these new pieces has pushed our work in new directions, and we’re very proud to finally be sharing them.

The exhibition opens tomorrow at the Britannicus Stone showroom in Chelsea and will be running throughout the week. Full details can be found via the link in our bio — we’d love to see some of you there.

For London Craft Week, we’re excited to be presenting Material Conversations — an exhibition of new work in British stone and wood, in partnership with .

The project grew out of a shared interest in celebrating the beauty of British raw materials, as well as a long-time desire to bring stone into our work. These new pieces are the result of more than a year of gradual development behind the scenes, pushing our work in new directions and exploring how British wood and stone can come together as a unified form.

The series brings together British timber alongside four native stone varieties sourced from across the UK. Each piece has been shaped by the materials themselves and the relationship between them, with a sense of movement, irregularity and balance inspired by the natural world.

This will be the first time we’ve properly shared our work in person, so we’re very much looking forward to people being able to see the pieces up close rather than through a screen.

The exhibition will be on view at the Britannicus Stone Showroom in Chelsea from 11–17 May. We’ll be there throughout the week and would love to see some of you there!

Some work-in-progress shots of the bar we’ve been making in collaboration with Spink
architects, for a pub which is due to open this Spring.

1–3: Finishing the oak panels for the bar’s cladding. This was a multi-step process — starting
with a wash of black tea 🫖, followed by an ebonising solution made from steel wool and
vinegar, which reacts with the tannins in the wood to darken it. We then used a fine brush to get
into all the cracks and knots, before finishing with a coat of oil.

4–5: Antonio, our new workshop neighbour, upholstering the bar’s soffit with some beautiful
leather hides.

6. A peek at the bar during installation, almost ready for its stone top.

We’ve been busy since the start of the year working on the bar and tables for a new gastro pub in the Chilterns, alongside some great makers we’ve been lucky to have working with us.

Here are a few snapshots of the tables coming together in the workshop, all made from solid English oak:

1–4: Charles joining one of the bar tabletops to the legs with wedged tenons

5: A tabletop freshly textured with a travisher, ready for staining and oiling

6: Ollie shaping a chunky cylindrical table leg for a large dining table

7: One of the dining table bases ready to be joined to the top

The tables are nearly finished now and almost ready to install - very excited to see them in situ.

A nice bespoke project we worked on recently in collaboration with .

The pieces bring together a planter and a light in one — with a compartment for a plant to sit in, illuminated by a light box above with linen panelling.

Made from solid oak, with carved texturing.

A closer look at the base of our Altor Dining Table.

With this piece, we wanted to step outside our usual approach to furniture design and explore a more sculptural form. The base draws inspiration from nature and was designed to sit in dialogue with the fossil-rich limestone top.

One of the biggest challenges was creating a form that captured the irregular, flowing character of natural forms, moving beyond the familiar territory of symmetry, while still building the piece through joinery rather than carving it from a single block. The concept for the base began with two simple cones, made by laminating and joining timber staves cut at precise angles. With one cone inverted, the two were then joined and carefully shaped into the flowing, asymmetrical curves that define the piece — a form that shifts as you move around it.

Our latest design, the Altor Dining Table, brings together a top made from limestone quarried in Yorkshire by , formed over 350 million years ago and patterned with crinoidal fossils, and an asymmetrical, sculptural base made from a fallen oak tree.

We designed the base so it would echo the fossil patterns in the stone, letting the two elements feel connected and in conversation. Figuring out how the base would support the 200kg stone top, while keeping it light and balanced, was a big challenge — so much so that we called in the expertise of structural engineers to help us fine-tune the design and ensure the base could carry the top without compromising the form.

Given the weight of the top, we wanted to avoid moving it across the country as much as possible, so it wasn’t until the photoshoot in London that we finally saw the base and top together — which made for quite a hair-raising build-up. Seeing it come together as planned was hugely rewarding — and somehow it even looked better in real life than we’d imagined.

If you’re passing through Chelsea, you can find the table on display in the Britannicus Stone showroom, and check out their range of beautiful British stone varieties while you’re there.
