This week, our Uma Coffee Table is featured in The Collectors Lounge, a curated installation by at HoxtonHotel, Shoreditch, as part of London Design Festival.

Made in partnership with , the table features an abstract sculptural tabletop cut from Eskett Brown stone from Cumbria, set on a hand-carved solid English ash base. The legs are shaped to follow the contours of the stone, balancing straight edges with softer curves.

When we installed the piece last week, we realised that some of the other makers in the exhibition were old friends of ours, who we shared a workshop with during our years in London. It was great to see our work together again, this time in a very different setting.

Finally sharing some proper photos of our Uma Coffee Table, one of four pieces we made for London Craft Week this Spring.

We really enjoyed making this one. It gave us the chance to explore a more sculptural approach, taking cues from natural forms and movement.

The top is cut from Eskett Brown stone from Cumbria and sits on a base in solid English ash. The legs begin as simple rectangular forms before being shaped to follow the contours of the stone, creating a balance between straight edges and softer curves. Each is then hand-carved to create finely textured surface before being stained black.

Made in partnership with , who source and supply beautiful British alternatives to imported marble.

Here’s one of a pair of Aurora lamps we recently made, photographed in the workshop before they make their way to a client in Paris.

The piece combines a carved, stained ash base with a silk shade made in collaboration with Antonia Claudie. Crafted from 100% organic, Fairtrade, GOTS-certified silk, each unique shade is hand-dyed using turmeric root and powder, with a pattern created from rusted metal.

It was nice to see how these two contrasting materials came together in this piece — the solidity of the carved timber balanced by the softness of the silk.

A few more views of one of our latest designs, the Altor console table.

This piece is a riff on our Altor dining table, the first work in our new series celebrating British stone and timber, developed in partnership with .

The console combines Anglesey stone from the Welsh island of the same name, with a sculptural, asymmetrical base in English pippy oak.

Timber selection is a really important part of how we work, and we often go out of our way to find pieces that are exactly what we’re looking for. For this piece, we wanted to use pippy oak with lots of character, to highlight and celebrate the organic nature of the material and bring interest to the piece's minimal form. We ended up finding the perfect boards from Fallen & Felled, who mill timber from trees felled in London that would otherwise be destroyed.

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.
