Making Fine Furniture Sustainably
I love the beauty of nature. Much of my furniture design is inspired by it.
But I recognise that felling a tree to use its timber for furniture may destroy a huge ecosystem which relies on the tree. Timber therefore needs to be responsibly and sustainably harvested with a view to protecting forest ecosystems.
Consequently I only use timber that I know has been sustainably felled in the production of my furniture. I do not use any timber from rainforests or timber from any source which cannot certify that their timber is sustainably harvested.
And, as Good Energy is my electricity supplier, the power used in my workshop comes from renewable sources.
We now have solar panels on the roof of our house which on a bright day provide the power needed to run my workshop.
