ABOUT US
Welcome to our world at Design by Timber, where we sculpt the elegance of wood into timeless and functional art. Established by Tim Hitchens, our roots trace back to his formative years at The Conran shop in the late 1990s. Our philosophy was born here: to breathe life into wood, creating pieces that tell stories and resonate with character.
Our craft goes beyond making furniture; it’s about honouring the spirit of individually selected pieces of timber, which come with their own history and essence. Our mission is to extend this legacy, crafting furniture that becomes part of your story.
A True Connection to Nature
At the heart of Design by Timber is real wood – a natural material that ages gracefully and imbues a sense of calm and grounding. In a world of constant change, our furniture offers a serene, prevailing presence, a reminder of the enduring beauty of nature.
Sustainability also runs throughout our approach. That’s why we prioritise locally sourced materials and run our workshop with carbon-reduced energy choices.
Preferring oil finishes, we ensure our furniture retains the authentic texture of wood and retains a connection to its roots. It’s not just about appearance; it’s about preserving the soul of a beautiful and natural material.
Innovation Meets Tradition
Under Tim’s leadership, our team embraces both tradition and innovation. Using time-honoured craftsmanship with modern design, our furniture is elegant and built to last. And every piece is a clever combination of practical beauty: functional, stylish and designed to integrate into your life or workspace.
We don’t just build furniture; we create experiences and stories, marrying your vision for luxury with our craftsmanship in a symphony of wood’s timeless beauty.
