Few people capture the spirit of British design like Paul Smith.

So it’s a real privilege to have one of our handmade tables now sitting in the new Paul Smith store in Bicester.

Their team were looking for a table made from a burr slab of English hardwood, and we were able to provide all the wood from an elm tree that once grew in Gibson Square, Islington. The tree had sadly died from Dutch Elm Disease, but it’s been given a fabulous second life here.

It’s special for us to make something for a designer we’ve long admired, and good to see them choosing to work with locally repurposed timber.
