Hi, I’m Ben.
I’ve been a furniture maker for 12 years after leaving the building trade for something more creative and tactile.
I started my business while cruising the canals of London living aboard my narrow boat.
After honing my craft, getting married, becoming a proud dad and 7 years on the boat, it was goodbye London and HELLO BRISTOL.
I love it here, the bustle of the city mixed with easy access to nature across and outside of it makes for the perfect place for me and my family to live.
Here’s a few things Im known for: my attention to detail, my experience and problem solving, creative design, and never saying no to a cup of tea!
I’ve got some great projects coming up and looking forward to sharing them.

Very happy to launch two new parts of my business @fellow_homeware and @fellow_artworks . So now not only can you get handcrafted fitted and stand alone furniture, you can get sustainable homeware and sculptural art pieces #bristol #furnituremaker #homewares #art
With an adoration of wood and its natural form Ben Wadhams explores the relationship of wood within art. #art #artist #handmade #fellowdesigns #bristol #bristolartist
It’s in the details! This piece by Chelsea was a collaboration with @fellowdesigns who she used to share a studio with. We love the nod to arts and crafts style frames.

Finished up this pantry yesterday. It makes a really practical use of this space. Have you got an awkward space that you don’t know what to do with?

Keep on rollin’. Want a multi purpose space? This rolling bookcase allow for a seamless transition. Do you prefer a snug separate living room or open space living?

Alcove shelving in a lush colour, and oak rolling bookcase doors to turn the space from open plan living to a cosy snug #dualfunction #handmade #bristol #bristolmaker #furnituremaker
12 bottles sitting in a drawer, close one, but there are more! #winestorage #furnituremaker #bristol #storage #drawers #handmade #bristolmaker #fellowdesigns
Under stairs wine storage. These british oak reeded and flat drawer fronts give this so much character. Solid oak dovetailed drawers and enough storage for any avid wine collector.

Definitely one of the most colourful wardrobes I’ve made. I’m always encouraging clients to be bolder with colour. These clients did and I love it! #bristol #furnituremaker #colour #@fellowdesigns #goforit
