“I am strongly affected by the way things look. I have intense, sometimes extreme, responses to almost all the visual data that I receive from my eyes. On a daily and continual basis I react to and assess the way things appear; with objects and scenes of beauty I wish to unlock and understand their beauty, and in a similar way I wish to understand why some things are not. I find the most intense beauty in nature; the forms and movements of her plants and animals, natural materials, light and its interplay with the elements, and the perfect combination of all these elements into land and seascapes. My man made influences include my study of physics at Oxford and in particular quantum mechanics which expounds fantastic forms, the great designers, craftsman and architects, music, art and the engineering of anything from cars planes and boats to rockets, clocks, and micro engineering. The list is endless, and the world full of inspiration, indeed I have travelled around the globe witnessing as much of it as I could.

The intense stream of inspiration this furnishes me with drives all of my furniture designs. Each piece is carefully conceived, such that each piece contains at least one truly unique feature, this then is the key that unlocks the whole design. The design process is then painstakingly thought out, and the best manufacturing methods established through prototyping, thus creating a highly engineered piece of furniture which will provide many decades, indeed centuries of use and pleasure to my clients and their heirs.
