CABINETS & DESKS
A modern design should say something
new such as the Cabinet without handles
(1) that sold at Sotheby’s First sale of
Contemporary British Crafts in 1980.
The Bath Theatre Royal desk (6) was
made from the historic old stage floor
timbers during renovations in 1985
CHAIRS
Chairs are Jeremy’s forte, combining
practicality with sculptural form. Structure
is explored in the Tilt rocker (4) that uses
a wooden leaf spring to achieve a rocking
motion and the cantilevered chairs (5) and
(6) optimise the strength of different
woods (ash and elm).
CLOCKS & LIGHTING
Sculputural clocks and luminaires fuse
technology with our oldest sustainable
natural material. The Ball and pedestal
clock (1) is turned on the lathe. Low
energy bulbs (2, 3 and 4) were used in
Jeremy’s designs as far back as 1979
in a Philips lighting competition.
TABLES
Some of Jeremy’s most innovative designs
include The Zigzag Table (3) with its unique
centre joint. The Man & Nature Table (8)
was made from an ash tree given to him
by Kew Gardens, from The Great Storm.
The Pimlico Diner (7) was made from old
church pews for a prominent UK politician.
GUITARS
Jeremy made his first guitar aged 17 and
has since made numerous guitars from
gypsy jazz style (1) to flamenco (8). His
E-coustic guitar (4, 5 and 6) uses plywood
and 400 year old walnut and combines
acoustics with sophisticated electronics in
a guitar he performs in public with.
OUTDOOR
From building a micro catamaran (1) that
fits into the back of a Smart car to a bird
hide on stilts (2 and 6) Jeremy has been
building outdoor structures including
sunrooms since the 1970’s. He was
asked to design and made oak benches
for the Roman Baths in Bath (5) in 1980.
MISCELLANEOUS
From sculpted figures (2) to kitchens (4)
and small object of desire such as dishes
(3 and 7) to trinket boxes (5) and picture
frames, mirrors (6) and chess sets (8)
Jeremy continues to express his ethos of
‘small is beautiful’, never wasting wood.
