Woodworker, Designer & Tutor.

Matt Turley designs and makes beautiful, original pieces of furniture which others have described simply as "art"; high praise indeed.

However, Matt's work sits firmly in the realm of function. Made predominantly from English hardwoods, and occasionally reclaimed timbers, the driving forces behind Matt's work are his passion for grass-roots sustainability and his belief in the role that woodland products can play in contributing to a more optimistic future.

By fusing the powerful ideals of sustainability and a joyful aesthetic, Matt not only creates work that sits comfortably with the classics, but also makes pieces that are highly functional and tactile.

How to commission Matt's work:

Simply contact Matt via this web-site or give him a call to arrange an appointment.

After a discussion about your ideas, requirements and budget, Matt will be happy to sketch out some ideas and concepts. You will then be invited to meet up again to view these suggestions as well as handle and see some lovely samples of solid wood.

If you like what you see and are interested in placing an order with Matt, he will initially look into the availability of materials and the time scale.

If everyone is happy, you'll be asked to place a deposit and then a final payment on completion (on large pieces stage payments are sometimes required).

It's fairly straightforward. It might take longer than walking into a high-street store, but this is about you and your relationship with some beautiful wood, embodied in a piece that will be made especially for you and will last for many years to come.
