Rita Duxbury turns a natural-edge lighthouse ornament that echoes the mystique of rocky coastlines, shipwreck tales, and seaside memories. Crafted from a single bark-covered branch, each piece tells its own story — weathered, warm, and wonderfully unique.

Canadian woodcarver Dave Western brings Welsh mythology to life with this hand-carved dragon brooch, inspired by ancient Celtic cloak pins.

Crafted from dense eastern maple, the piece blends functionality with folklore — designed to secure heavy scarves while evoking the legendary red dragon of Wales. With sweeping wings, a coiled tail, and intricate detailing, the brooch transforms a practical accessory into a story-rich sculpture.

Started carving these whale tail stands after chatting with a friend about new ways to display her jewellery. I based the design on humpback whales I saw in the Antarctic. Made a couple of versions — one carved with gouges, one whittled — both small enough to travel easily to markets. Oak and ash worked best for strength and colour.

Where automotive mastery meets furniture design.

The CALLUM Lounge Chair — a bold reinterpretation of the iconic Eames silhouette — has been awarded the prestigious Bespoke Guild Mark for its elegance, innovation and craftsmanship. Designed by legendary car designer Ian Callum and handcrafted with carbon fibre, eucalyptus veneer and leather, this chair is as refined as the cars that inspired it.
