Meet the makers exhibiting at Evolution of Tradition: Laurent Peacock

Evolution of Tradition, a new exhibition of contemporary bespoke furniture designed by some of the UK’s most distinguished craftspeople, takes place from 2 until 5 October this autumn at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. The exhibition represents an exciting collaboration between The Furniture Makers’ Company and Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, the world’s premier design destination.

Fifteen makers, including Laurent Peacock, are exhibiting 28 pieces at the exhibition.

An industrial designer by training, having gained a First Class degree in 2001, Laurent Peacock steered away from designing mass-produced plastic widgets to instead pursue a passion for hands-on making.

In 2016/17 Laurent trained in fine furniture making under Marc Fish at Robinson House Studio before going on to set up his practice. He is naturally inquisitive and harbours a fascination for materials, often resulting in unexpected combinations of colours, patterns, textures and techniques.

Laurent’s technical savvy and creative flair, combined with extreme patience and attention to detail, earned his ‘Sika’ console table Bespoke Guild Mark in 2017.

He works on commissions for private clients and high-end interior designers as well as one-off pieces for exhibition, small batch collections and experimental surface materials
