Meet the makers exhibiting at Evolution of Tradition: Byron & Gomez

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 Byron & Gomez, are exhibiting 28 pieces at the exhibition.

Byron & Gómez is the partnership of Charles and María, two dedicated designer-makers who share a passion for contemporary design and traditional craft. Charles and Maria studied at Williams & Cleal Furniture School where they met in 2014.

Graduates of the Craft Council’s Hothouse programme and touted as ‘ones to watch’ by Wallpaper* magazine in 2016, the young duo have impressed many with their traditionally and crafted furniture designed for contemporary interiors.

They have spent the years since working on a string of commissions and speculative pieces, building up a body of work which exemplifies their design values of simplicity and elegance.

Through the use of high quality materials and commitment to a simple harmony of form and function, Byron & Gómez create furniture that is bold yet understated.
