ABOUT
Designer-duo James Trundle & Isobel Napier
We are a London based partnership combining the sensibilities of carpentry and textile artistry.
Process and materials are central to our practice. It’s often in the making that many moments of beauty can be found before the resolution of a piece.
We first met while studying at the Slade School of Fine Art, and in our work - both individually and together - we blend traditional craftsmanship with digital techniques. Our aim is to balance the meticulous control of mechanical processes with organic materials which are rooted in tradition.
At the heart of our craft is a respect for the materials we work with. We take a great deal of time to build relationships with local timber yards and hand-select characterful boards that showcase the inherent beauty of the material.
We make furniture in small batches in our South London Workshop, and unique timber wall panels using our offcuts. With a commitment to responsible design, we focus on sustainability and craftsmanship that ensures longevity.
