Our Take on Sustainability
We believe in making useful, beautiful things, but not at any cost. That means we keep things local, choose materials with care, and design to last. We’re not perfect (no one is), but we work in a way that’s as sustainable as possible, and are committed to continually improving.
All our products are made in Cumbria. We keep our production small and thoughtful – and we know exactly where our wood comes from.
Local Timber
Most of our wood comes from our friends at The Tree on the Hill – a small, passionate team working just a few miles away. They mill and kiln-dry windblown, dead or responsibly felled trees from the local area. They only stock British hardwoods – including oak, ash, elm, beech, sycamore, cherry and yew – and everything is cut and dried on-site.
Minimal Waste
Many of our smaller pieces such as coasters and bookmarks are made from offcuts from our larger commissions ensuring nothing goes to waste. We also source and re-purpose offcuts and reclaimed timbers from other woodworkers in the local area, turning waste into something beautiful.
Responsibly Sourced
We only ever use FSC or PFEC certified plywood and MDF board from reputable suppliers with a traceable supply chain.
Built to Last. Easy to Reuse.
Our pieces are made to age well – not end up in the bin. They’re solid, useful and repairable.
Where we use packaging, we keep it minimal, ensure it’s recyclable and plastic-free.
In Short
We work with what we have around us. We design things to last. And we’ll keep making better choices wherever we can.
Why It Matters
We’re not trying to tick boxes or make bold sustainability claims – we just care about doing things properly. We think products with honest materials, clear origins, and thoughtful design feel better to use – and that matters just as much as how they look.
