Gaze Burvill
Generously sized for two or four people, this craftsman-made design is without a single straight component – its unique spiralling forms echo the natural ‘twist’ in the trunk of the mature sweet chestnut tree, and it’s this natural spiralling which is thought to give the tree’s structure greater strength and we have experienced the same with the structure of this seat
After meeting at Hooke Park College under the tuition of John Makepeace, Christian Gaze and Simon Burvill founded Gaze Burvill in 1993. They set out to create the finest outdoor furniture through an honest commitment to design integrity, comfort and craftsmanship, while holding true to their values of respecting and not harming the environment. Gaze Burvill continues to do this, embracing the best of both cutting edge technologies and fine furniture making traditions.
