Furniture for the public realm

With sustainability high on the agenda, architects and designers are choosing to use our hardwoods in projects which impact the wider public and places. 

Reusing felled urban trees means reducing embodied carbon in building projects and cutting the UK's dependence on imported hardwoods. It's also a valuable way to engage communities.

project examples

Repurposed timber for
Lea Bridge library extension.

We helped furniture designer Sebastian Cox source over 25 cubic metres of salvaged London trees to make furniture and wall panelling for the Lea Bridge library extension in East London.

We milled and seasoned the timber from a wide variety of local species including oak, ash, sycamore, sequoia and London plane. Image credit: Jim Stephenson

We received trees from a development project in Euston.

We used some of the milled timber to make furniture for use back in the communities from which the trees were removed.

Benches at Fosters Estate Hendon London

Trees felled to make way for affordable housing find a second life as community benches.

We worked with Barnet Homes on the Fosters Estate in Hendon London to remove trees and turn them into nine temporary 'seasoning benches'.

Once fully air dry, the timber will be further repurposed to make external and internal furniture.
