Stromen writing desk/dressing table in Oxfordshire cherry. This small desk has tapered legs and three dovetailed drawers which utilise the natural shapes found on the edge of the wood as handles. Available.

  • This photo of me was taken by the incredibly skilled photographer and writer @danmayphoto. Also, my dad @philipkoomen is opening up his amazing #workshop this weekend and the following one, if you're near #Oxford or #Reading go and check it out, he always puts on a good show and has loads of interesting projects on the go. Although I won't be there personally this #sycamore #box in this photo and a few other #boxes will be on sale there. - - - - - #slowliving #intentionalliving #simplethingsmadebeautiful #minimaldesign #seekthesimplicity #homeinspiration #furnituredesign #homedesign #minimalism #interiordesign #interiordesigner #productdesign #designinspiration #designspo #productdesigner #handmade #organicfurniture #woodwork #handmade
  • Kei table and bench with a burr oak top
  • Cherry box. These protruding dovetails were a mistake but I like them, so now I'm doing some like this intentionally.
  • I love this account of a master wheelwright: "Because each piece of wood is distinct it has its own personality the woodworker has an intimate relationship with the wood he works, its subtle virtues which call out to be cultivated and cared for."
  • A view from the top of the Luna side table. This is a cross section of an oak burl. A #burl is one of those wart like growths on side some trees. It's often got lots of shoots growing from it. Each of these shoots creates a tiny knot, you'll see them here if you look closely.
  • I love the fact that I work inside in a warm workshop on a windy, wet and cold day in the winter. However, now that it is lovely and sunny I'm beginning to think I need to set myself up with a covered outdoor space to not end spending the whole spring and summer inside. I'm starting to collect ideas inspirations, so if you have any I'd love know about them. Hope you're all having a lovely weekend!
  • English tiger oak
  • Can't believe how hard it is to share this image, so used to staying comfortably in the background.
