We're excited to be exhibiting a number of pieces at beautiful showroom in Pimlico. Our furniture will be on show alongside a number of talented artists and makers all exquisitely curated by the wonderful

Finding the best orientation and grain combination takes time and a lot of furrowed brows. It's important to us to show off the timbers natural character and charms, the material playing such a key role in our designs story. In the coming weeks this beautiful walnut will become one leg of the Ripple desk, a design first introduced to our core collection a decade ago, we look forward to sharing the process as it evolves.

After a well earned break the team's back in the studio this week, with Josh working on the last stages of our latest commission piece. We can't wait to see this one in its final home and share it with you.

That's a wrap on 2023!

As the studio winds down for the holidays we send out the latest collection of S chairs. This reimagining of our classic design now features a padded seat, adding another layer of comfort with a pop of colour. This range commissioned by the is upholstered in 4 different fabrics, including a blue leather.

"I could never just work on the computer it's always got to be physical. The computer can be very deceiving, you can't really get a sense of scale, you're looking at this object from below like it's a building or from the angles you like, it's not natural. - It would be very hard to get the sophisticated shapes in the computer straight away, I model with upholstery foam and move it into shapes I like, it's such a fluid way of working, so refreshing working by hand and physically manipulating the material." Tom Vaughan, Founder and head designer of Object Studio.

Back in 2018 we were commissioned by the to create a dining table for a British Silver exhibition. With an ebonised finish and strong lines the piece created a striking contrast to the silverware, allowing them to take centre stage.

This dramatic shot was taken during the exhibition.

Always a pleasure to find like minded creatives who have the same passion and appreciation for materials and process as we do. We collaborated with for the 'Bhadra' side table, combining his textured glass, a cast from an old yew tree near his home in Kent, with our signature knotted timber. Both aspects put the knots and undulations from the natural material front and centre in their design making the table a harmonious tribute to the beauty of wood.
