TIMBER SOURCING

With James Trundle & Isobel Napier, for Collect 2025

“Ahead of our showcase with Flow at Collect 2025, join us on a trip to the timber yard as we search for characterful boards from London trees, to make our new body of work”.

- James Trundle

“At the heart of our craft is a profound respect for the timber we use. It forms the foundation of our work, with each piece shaped by the unique character and story embedded in the wood.

All the timber used within our pieces is sourced from Fallen and Felled, a London-based timber yard dedicated to rescuing trees from the incinerator.

By choosing timber not grown for commercial purposes, we make a conscious effort to use resources that would be overlooked, allowing us to incorporate unique and distinctive wood varieties into our designs. This practice not only supports sustainability, but also enhances the character of our furniture. Our designs highlight the intrinsic beauty of these timbers, embracing their natural features—knots, splits, and irregularities included. By incorporating these characteristics as distinctive elements of our designs, we collaborate with the material, minimising unnecessary removal and reducing waste off-cuts to the absolute minimum.”
