BYRON

Growing up I never wanted to be an office chair. Wanted to get some shots in before it’s out of the studio. Upholstory by @bowparryupholstery Fabric from @lamaisonpierrefrey Patchwork quilt from @toast Get in touch for enquiries.

Got some new designheads bopping around in this corner as of recently, so thought it was about time that I said hi again. Hi, I’m Byron I design and make furniture and objects using predominately found and waste materials. I work out of my studio, The Greenhouse, at @blackhorsews - You will likely find me bopping away to some drums, disco ball spinning, getting through the day’s tasks and waiting for it to be acceptable to drink yet another tiny cup of coffee. This is where everything happens, from gluing up boxes and boxes of offcuts for the Cut+Stick collection, to processing plasterboard to make new works for the dust collection, to everything in between. It’s been about two years that I’ve been running my furniture studio “Thisisbyron”, and in that time, I have been fortunate enough to get involved in some mad projects, and talk chairs with some talented people - you know who you all are. Excited to see what’s going to happen next, and continue all the wisdom sharing with new and old designheads. There is always a coffee waiting for anyone that wants to visit me and the studio- I have plenty of chairs to sit in as well, ironically. Anyway - you’re all mint, big love

Moonlighting as an artist just like my parents didn’t. (2025) Making this piece was a slow and meticulous process of over the course of many months, resulting in a cabinet that is next iteration of furniture in the Cut + Stick collection. With it, I am trying to strike the balance between the beauty of patchwork, and the functionality inherently necessary in cabinetry. The Cut + Stick process consists of collecting a variety of unwanted timber offcuts, then intuitively cutting and sticking the pieces together to form a larger material with a distinctive patchwork aesthetic. This collection looks to celebrate the beauty and unique nature of different timbers as a collective - whilst also providing a commentary on the need for biodiversity in the woodlands that these trees once came from. For bespoke commissions get in touch via the email in bio.

Alu casting research Abundant and unassuming, styrofoam plays a vital role in the safe transportation of our things. Its forms are deliberately designed to protect appliances, yet no consideration is given to its shape beyond its transient life. By re-materializing the styrofoam in metal, and preserving its form exactly as found using a method inspired by lost-wax casting, the object is given a new permanence and identity. What was once disposable becomes enduring. It becomes an object worth protecting – though ideally, not with more styrofoam.

OAK AND IRON

Some very nice things to see from New York

Open again for commissions of furniture and objects. Got plans to work with new processes and materials this year.

Little write up in @solo.magazine from the end of last year. Was so nice to catch up with @lluistudela and @monoware in the studio to take some photos with there lovely products. Thanks to Jenny as well for the interview and taking the time to listen to me chat chairs.
