At FurnitureEdited we create furniture that is refined to its core use. We believe this makes for practical and ultimately elegant furniture.

We believe in minimalism, in as far as we only create furniture that we truly like and intend to treasure for a lifetime.

We make our furniture by hand in our UK workshop. We are happy to make furniture to your exact specification.

Working from a studio in Gloucestershire, Gaby creates all of her designs and woven fabric. Each collection starts with a storyboard and, using high quality yarns, these ideas are turned into cloth.​

Gaby works on a table loom to sample and a floor loom to create small batches of products.

Gaby’s main focus is on lampshades, but she is also currently developing a range of complementary pieces.

Gemma Wightman makes an exciting range of hand thrown porcelain tableware. Exploring the wonders of porcelain, she manipulates forms so that they look as fresh as when they were first created on the potter’s wheel. Each piece entices you to touch it with their deep thrown lines and sumptuous curves. Gemma takes great pleasure in knowing that her pieces are an enjoyment to those that use them.

Gemma trained in the early 2000s, firstly at the Surrey Institute of Art & Design in Farnham and then on the Bath Spa University Ceramics degree course under the esteemed tutorage of Felicity Aylieff and Takeshi Yasuda.

Georgina’s collections are sensitive, contemporary representations of organic forms, crafted in precious metal.  Styled to reflect the beauty of nature, she aims to create collections that capture the essence of contemporary elegance whilst retaining a timeless, classic feel.

Each piece is individually handmade using traditional techniques such as piercing, soldering, forging, engraving and stone setting to produce miniature, wearable sculptures.

Georgina graduated with a BA (Hons) degree from the University of Portsmouth in 1998 specialising in Three Dimensional Design. In 2011 she was the winner of the Craft&Design Magazine awards in the jewellery and precious metal section and is a committee member for the Association for Contemporary Jewellery (Wessex Group) and a founder member of Artful Events.

I’m a ceramic designer, I make slip cast earthenware vessels and bowls. These are all handmade using moulds I have also made. These are decorated with transfers with patterns that I have designed myself from my own drawings. These are inspired by fairy tales and the surreal.

I studied at Hereford College of Arts, graduating in Summer 2010.

I also make ceramic jewellery pieces, which are all handmade and have my transfers on them. My prices range from £10 – £130.

I am a stained and fused glass maker living in Penarth, South Wales.
I have had a number of prestigious commissions, such as making the prizes for the Welsh Learner of the Year at the National Eisteddfod. I was also the first artist in the UK to be licensed by the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff to be able to use the centre and wording in my work.
I am interested in exploring the many possibilities offered by stained and fused glass, and my work includes door panels, wall panels, and jewellery, sometimes incorporating other materials such as copper wire.

Fiona Hamilton Walker is a Bristol-based jeweller working with sterling silver, copper, bronze and semi-precious stones.

She studied at Queens Road College of Art in Bristol where she learnt several different types of jewellery technique, but was especially drawn to texture and shape.

Her collection includes beautiful textured cufflinks, striking copper embellished necklaces and bracelets and delicate silver earrings.

I work from my home in Bethesda, North Wales surrounded by my collection of art created by friends and family, vintage treasures and charity shop finds. These are all a great source of inspiration within my jewellery making.
I have always had a fascination with colour and wanted somehow to bring it into my work. I became very conscious of the amount of colour in packaging that we simply discard and throw away, in particular the rich jewel like colours in some plastic bottles and confectionery wrappers.

Having a keen interest in re-using and recycling, I decided to utilise these materials and have since been developing my jewellery from recycled plastics, foils, semi precious stones, reclaimed beads and silver. I have been making jewellery since leaving college in 1991 and my work has been shown in many exhibitions and galleries around the UK.

Design is my passion and since 2010 I have been creating bespoke contemporary furniture. Every item is individually handcrafted in my workshop in Kent where I moved back to after graduating in Furniture and Product Design from Nottingham Trent University. I pride myself on designing unique, beautiful and innovative products with a creative flair from […]

In 2002, after accidentally leaving a book out in the rain, Hannah Lobley developed the award-winning Paperwork. She couldn’t bear to throw away her ruined and all-time favourite book (Lord of the Rings) and decided to see if she could reuse it even though she couldn’t read it again. Hannah had previously specialised in wood […]

As a child Hannah Louise Lamb spent a lot of time on the beaches of Cornwall. As she grew up she discovered a love, and a great talent, for creating beautiful things inspired by those very same Cornish beaches she adored as a small girl. With a first class honours from Glasgow School of Art’s […]

Freshly poured wet slip is delicious, poured or trailed over the surface of a pot it looks good enough to eat and I never tire of working with it. My pots are all thrown on the wheel in a red earthenware clay and decorated with coloured slips before being finished with a rich honey glaze. […]

I have always loved to draw. But a lightbulb moment happened when driving along my local high street, observing the vibrancy and activity of a community – shoppers and parents getting from one point to another; pathways crossing and intersecting, given context when placed against recognisable shops and schools. I realised that this passing of […]

I am a teacher and artist living and working in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. I was an art teacher with a degree in Visual Arts and Culture, but 10 years ago I wanted to develop my own practice away from school and discovered an outlet for my ideas and creativity through completing a City and Guilds in embroidery, and my business, HanneMADE, was started.

I love mixing media together and the theme of journeys runs throughout my work, be they my own journeys collecting inspiration or my materials’ journey, as I upcycle where possible. I use a range of techniques in my work from mono screen printing, digital printing, college, many textile techniques, print… and I love to stitch, be that with my machine or by hand. I produce a range of pieces of work from unique framed pieces, pieces to wear (brooches and pendants) and greeting cards.

Design led porcelain lighting and functional tableware are handcrafted in small batches from Harriet’s boat house studio on Mersea Island, off of the Essex coast. Influenced by her Scandinavian roots, Harriet’s designs focus on simple form, linear patterned design and soft contrasting colours to invite a tactile approach to her work.

“My work is all about appealing to the senses. I love the idea of someone using one of my designs and enjoying these little details; how comfortable the cup feels in their hands when drinking tea, how the colourful light transforms a room when it’s turned on. To me this is what creates an enduring and enjoyable relationship between the person and the functional objects that they use every day…”

Hayley Gammon works mainly in small ranges, as the ethos of her work is ‘handmade’ Glass Blown technique. Working in small ranges means that she is able to keep a keen eye on development, with the work evolving and adapting with her skills, whist maintaining a theme in her work.
With glass there is always something to learn and a new skill to master. It has a huge element of problem solving and demands quick thinking on your feet – this drives the artist and keeps the work fresh and exciting. Hayley enjoys making work and keeping the work accessible. She has developed a range of work that uses intense colours and simple forms. Prices range from £35 to £350.
Hayley feels privileged to work in this industry and would not see herself doing anything else.
