Tom has more than 15 years experience crafting bespoke furniture from the highest quality timbers. Since 2013 he has been based in Sheffield, a city whose liminal characteristics - the transition of city and peak, of lost industry and search for new identities - both reflect and define aspects of his work.

He has been influenced by a diversity of experience ranging from the structural qualities of architecture to a love of detail reflected in his experiments with jade and urushi lacquer. He has spent time in China and takes inspiration from the craft traditions of Japan and Korea.
