Paul Crudge, furniture designer & maker

When it comes to buying furniture, the mass-produced route is all too easy. How much more rewarding to commission a piece that is made especially for you. With the high street stores full of cloned products, there has never been a better time to go bespoke.

In the case of furniture designer and maker Paul Crudge, a move from Dorset after a full ten years with British designer, John Makepeace, has proved successful. Paul’s clients come to him from near and far for furniture that will fit well in the home and effectively serve a particular purpose. Whether it is a chair, a table or a multiple drawer cabinet, each piece is made with careful consideration, especially on how the chosen materials are used. In certain situations the wood itself can be the inspiration for the design, capturing the character of the timber in a unique way.

Commissioning a piece of bespoke furniture for your home necessitates a close involvement between client and craftsman, resulting in a one-off piece of British craftsmanship.
