This week marks the 6th anniversary of the ACO. Workshop in Peckham & calling myself a furniture maker.

Over the past six years, I’ve designed and built over 150 bespoke pieces for homes and workspaces across London. Each one has shaped the way I think, design, and make.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s commissioned work, shared kind words, or supported the journey along the way — it means a lot.

Still learning. Still building. Looking forward to what the next year brings — in the workshop and out in the world.

The recent project for the Guildhall School of Music & Drama has now been completed and delivered.

This was one of the few occasions where I didn’t have the chance to see the piece in its final setting, something that made me reflect on how meaningful that final moment can be. After weeks of careful cutting, sanding, and building, seeing the work in situ often provides a real sense of satisfaction.

An upcoming project working with Ayesha & Steph from Roads2Joya a large (5m x 2m) corner sofa frame heading to a west London kitchen & dining area.

The first sofa build for me, allowing the introduction of a few new tools to the workshop and elements which will be prepped ready for spray finishing. The installation of this big guy will come in July.
