The Perch

A gentle elevation

Light in presence and easy to place, The Perch is designed as a simple elevated seat for everyday moments. Its compact form creates a gentle sense of height without feeling imposing, offering a comfortable resting place that feels calm, informal, and unobtrusive.

At the heart of The Perch is its sculpted seat — a compact, flowing form shaped and carefully refined by hand. Travishers, spokeshaves, and card scrapers are used to soften the surfaces and edges, leaving behind subtle tactile variations that quietly speak of the making process.

The legs are first turned to shape before being refined further by hand with a spokeshave, creating softened facets and gentle irregularities that give the piece its handmade character. Traditional round mortice and tenon joints are secured with contrasting walnut wedges, revealing rather than hiding the construction.

Standing at approximately 67 cm high, The Perch offers a gently elevated sitting height while maintaining a compact and balanced footprint.

Each piece is made to order using an ash seat with beech legs as standard. Alternative timbers can be discussed as part of the commission.

Prices typically start from £340.
