The Sapling

Designed with simplicity and versatility in mind, The Sapling is a small, understated piece of furniture that can find its place throughout the home. Equally suited to occasional seating or displaying a favourite object, its uncomplicated form allows it to serve a variety of purposes.

The design centres around a simple square top, with gently softened edges and a subtly shaped underside. Four slender, outward-splayed legs give the piece a light, elegant appearance, while retaining the familiar proportions and character of the wider Signature Collection.

The legs are refined by hand with a spokeshave, leaving subtle facets and variations that give each piece its individual character. Traditional round mortice and tenon joints are secured with contrasting walnut wedges, while the exposed ends of the tenons are carefully finished by hand with a gouge, leaving a subtle, hand-carved texture.

The Sapling measures approximately 30 × 30 cm, with a height of 45 cm.

Each piece is made to order using a solid ash top and beech legs as standard. Alternative timbers can be discussed as part of the commission.

Prices start at £150 each, with pricing for pairs or multiple pieces available on request.
