2 day windsor chair making course!

Thank you to @htmorrisfurniture and @alex.skawinski for having us on your course, i learnt so much and had a really great time.

The seven of us made individual components as we went through the making process, the result was a sort of franken-chair. We celebrated the end of the course with the burning of the chair. Although initially it was hard to let go of something the we had spent two days working on. As the legs, stiles and sticks turned to ash, the feeling of letting go was quite therapeutic. It reminded me to step back sometimes and enjoy the making process in the moment.

We now move on to designing our own windsor inspired chairs!

Week 3 - Really enjoyed a tour around Highgrove Gardens. Learned a lot at the Duchy of Cornwall’s Timberline Yard and Whitney Sawmill and was fortunate enough to meet the designer-makers David Colwell and Bim Burton and visit their workshops!

This object explores working alongside the systems that materials exist within.

Wood is manufactured as planks available in variable thicknesses, widths, and lengths. Rather than viewing these standardised material systems as restrictive measures, I acknowledge them as direct sources of inspiration for form.

By choosing to embrace and interpret the material in its typical standardised form, new observations are discovered.

MATTER explores the behaviour and limitations of materials, drawing on natural forces, unstandardised geometries, workshop knowledge and industrial waste to discover forms through making.

🌿 Enchanted Matter | Sam Brixton @smbrxtn

Sam Brixton is an English-American designer currently based in London. He is a multidisciplinary designer focused on object and furniture making. Driven by an interest in material systems and ecologies, his work explores forms that celebrate the inherent qualities of their materials. Working primarily with wood and metal he investigates material honesty through making, seeking to understand the environments from which the materials originate from while also considering the spaces that the objects will situate themselves within.

Frequently taking inspiration from common objects and components found within everyday architectural environments, he looks to extend these familiar forms and applications, reinterpreting them for contemporary contexts and modes of use.

“Belmont” is a desk lamp crafted from Re-Firr, a composite natural biomaterial developed by the Orna Group using recycled Christmas tree waste and a natural binder. Created in collaboration, the lamp explores the potential of transforming seasonal waste into a new, functional material.

With material support from the Orna Group, Sam designed and created “Belmont” as a desk lamp that emits a soft, warm glow, referencing the Christmas trees from which its material was originally derived.

Sam’s work will be showcased in Enchanted Matter at Bloomsbury, OX Space during the London Design Festival.
