Crafts CouncilDirectoryLaurent Peacock DesignFurniture Designer MakerWest Sussex, EnglandFurniture makingWoodworkingWebsiteE-mailAboutInfoSustainabilityHaving established his studio in 2018, Laurent makes commissioned pieces for interior designers, architects and private clients. His speculative works explore pattern, texture and form, expressed mostly through the manipulation of british hardwoods. Tactility is key, and Laurent's work often presents the familiar, age-old material in disguise, quietly challenging the viewer to distinguish it from stone, ceramic or composite through the often overlooked yet crucial sense of touch.Focus:Exploring material properties, form, texture and finish in native timbers Commissions:Available for commissionsLaurent works with native timber sourced from reputable local suppliers. These are certified grown in GB and can sometimes even be traced back to individual felled trees that have been diverted from the wood chipper or incinerator. Laurent's speculative works are often crafted from leftover stock purchased for commissions and/or offcuts. Shorter offcuts are turned into small homewares or, if less attractive, used to make jigs, templates or test pieces in place of virgin material.AboutHaving established his studio in 2018, Laurent makes commissioned pieces for interior designers, architects and private clients.
