Meet the makers exhibiting at INSPIRED 2017: Waywood
This May (3-6) will see the much-anticipated return of INSPIRED – the luxury contemporary silverware and furniture selling showcase at the Goldsmiths Centre during London Craft Week.
This leading exhibition, now in its fifth year, brings together some of the UK’s finest and up-and-coming silversmiths and furniture makers in one unique curated platform.
As we get ready for the show, in the coming weeks we will be giving you the lowdown on this year’s designer/makers attending and why INSPIRED should be your number one destination for bespoke furniture. This week we find out more about Waywood.
Waywood is a small team which has been designing and making pieces of furniture to commission since 1986.
Waywood favours simplicity of design and work in sympathy with the wood employing its natural warmth and feel.
The sensitivity and care with which the team make every piece, from the most modest item to the largest project is aimed at achieving an unlaboured excellence that will last hundreds of years.
Senior designer and craftsman at Waywood, Clive Brookes oversees all elements of the work produced, and takes major responsibility for project management.
He joined Waywood in 1990 after completing an apprenticeship in a respected workshop in High Wycombe followed by an HND in Fine Craft at Buckinghamshire College.
