Weave - project

Development project

Weave is an exploratory project that investigates the use of fast-growing materials as a sustainable alternative to slow-grown timber. Locally sourced willow, harvested from the Somerset Levels—where it has been grown for centuries and traditionally used in basket making—forms the basis of this work. Willow’s remarkable growth rate of up to six feet per year makes it an ideal material for wet, low-lying farmland where other crops struggle.

Through the weaving process, the base has naturally evolved into a bold, gently curving geometry. This project seeks to integrate this ancient craft and versatile material into the realm of fine furniture making, further exploring its potential and expanding our understanding of its capabilities.

Materials – English oak, Somerset grown willow
Dimensions – 550mm wide, 550mm deep x 500mm high
All of our furniture is crafted by us, right here in our workshop. If you’re after bespoke dimensions or custom tweaks of our collection, we’d love to help! Please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements. You can find more details about commissioning bespoke and customised pieces here.
All items are hand made to order so please allow a 8-12 week window for us to source the perfect materials and produce your item of furniture. If you need something sooner please let us know and we will do our best to help.
We are able to deliver our items to the UK and overseas. Shipping costs are not included in the price of our furniture but calculated once we know where and how it's best to get the item to you. We often hand deliver to ensure safe arrival, however shipping crating is available too.
Our finishes are naturally robust and offer great resistance to spillages, provided they’re wiped up promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, we recommend Osmo spray cleaner, and an annual application of liquid wax cleaner to keep the wood finish looking its best. We also offer a refinishing service, available by quotation, depending on the work needed, refinishing can be done on-site or in our workshop.
