Peter Lanyon heads up a small team of highly skilled and experienced green wood furniture makers. From our south Devon base, we hand-craft stunning lamps, tables, chairs and desks using a 'slow' and sustainable methodology that relies on low energy and simple technology - a refreshing change to otherwise fast-paced, mass-produced furniture. We regularly exhibit work in London and across the UK.
Peter is available for commissions, and runs popular woodworking courses at his workshop - just a short stroll from the stunning south Devon coastline. Peter is also an award-winning member of the Devon Guild, an organisation that supports contemporary crafts. Each of our iconic pieces begin the same way. We hand-select coppiced wood from a well-managed local forest on the south Devon coast.
We then use ancient methods to split and shave the wood with traditional tools such as a side axe, froe and draw knife, before leaving it to season for several months. Peter's philosophy and approach to woodworking is simple: wood should look and feel like wood.

Community Projects add value in so many ways.
Not only do they enhance a community space, but they help create better communities by bringing people together to offer their skills and time to a joint venture, that benefits all.
