Exquisite, sculptural furniture with a sense of movement and flow

Our comfortable curvaceous furniture is designed by award-winning designer Angus Ross who is also a master craftsman and woodsman. He has been innovating with wood for thirty years yet remains curious about the possibilities of our local timber.

Angus’s journey
Angus gained a BSc in Industrial Design at Napier University, Edinburgh and went on to design injection moulded plastic products for Glaxo Smith Kline, Boots and Mothercare. After becoming disillusioned with designing for mass manufacture, and becoming concerned about the problem of plastic waste plastic, he retrained in furniture making at Rycotewood College, Oxford. This enabled him to simultaneously use his head and hands to create beautiful, useful things, that may even help the planet.

As a designer Angus is principally concerned with function to create joy. Aesthetically Angus is inspired by structure in engineering and architecture, and his work is characterised by elegant, pure flowing lines.

As a maker and craftsman Angus continues in the tradition of the Arts and Crafts Movement cabinet-making, and combines this with green wood steam-bending, and the latest design and cutting technology to create innovative furniture.

Angus loves sharing his knowledge and skills, and the studio sometimes offers apprenticeships and internships. He regularly gives talks on craft, design, and sustainable woodwork. He has been a Mentor for the Crafts Council and Advisor to Craft Scotland.

He is a Selected Maker for the Crafts Council and Homo Faber Guide.

Sustainable Scottish timber from our woodland and local estates

Highly selective thinning of trees works with nature, encouraging natural regeneration to improve bio-diversity and the overall health and resilience of the woodland.
