On the bed this week! 😃📏🔨🌳♻️

We're just finishing off a range of our , flat-pack furniture & gifts to be sent to a new stockist ahead of Christmas. 🙌🎄🎅🧡🧡🧡

The stockist is an extremely well-known art gallery, whose new exhibition will have a key underlying theme of sustainability, aligned perfectly with our mission & purpose.

Small gifts are manufactured from the 'grey space' left in plywood sheets after cutting our furniture; diverting what would be considered 'waste' timber from landfill and providing unique, wholly sustainable small gifts that make perfect stocking fillers!
