Working from our rural workshop, located among the beautiful west-country landscape of South Somerset UK, Marc Wood is a creative designer-maker of beautiful, high quality furniture, cabinets, picture frames and mirrors; we use sustainable natural timbers along with up cycled materials.
Marc has an art and design background and trained in Joinery to put his furniture design into practice, he is inspired by the design fusion of traditional rustic farmhouse style and a more contemporary sleekly modernist design.
This design concept can be seen in our use of chunky ‘slab’ timbers for our table tops and thick sided bookshelves and our feature of the classic angular ‘dovetail’ joint, which works as both a durable jointing technique and an attractive decoration for our cabinet doors.
The subtly curved corners of our cabinets combine with our signature ‘hidden’ integrated wooden handles for stylish modern simplicity with the mellow informality of natural wood.
Together with wife Rachel they run Marc Wood Joinery from their Somerset workshop situated within a complex of 19th Century farmland outbuildings shared among a lively local artisan community.
