Celebration of Craftsmanship & Design SELECTION

This selection of bespoke contemporary furniture gives a glimpse into small, exceptional, yet often overlooked workshops of master craftsmen and women from across the UK. On Tuesday, the designer-makers behind the exhibits gather to share the inspiration behind their work, exploring how it was made and why commissioning a cabinet-maker is more fulfilling than buying off the shelf.

Every year Celebration of Craftsmanship & Design scours the country for the best designer-makers of contemporary furniture to exhibit at their August exhibition in Cheltenham, the largest exhibition of such work in the UK. This selection of 35 pieces from 21 workshops delivers a taste of this exceptional event to Clerkenwell and represents a rare opportunity to see the diverse work of so many furniture designer-makers together in London.
