A WALK IN THE WOODS
About Us
Here at Joss Stoddart, we believe in creating objects that bring quiet joy to the world — pieces that reconnect people with nature and celebrate the beauty of thoughtful craftsmanship. Every design begins with a deep respect for material, form, and purpose.
Our small team of skilled craftspeople work closely together, combining traditional techniques with a modern sensitivity to create furniture and objects that feel alive — pieces that tell stories, age gracefully, and enrich the spaces they inhabit.
We hand-source the finest British timber from local sawmills and, wherever possible, collaborate with clients to mill their own trees. This personal, mindful approach ensures that every material we use is responsibly chosen and deeply understood.
Rooted in creativity and care, our work honours both the past and the future — crafting designs that are not only useful, but that resonate with the rhythm of the natural world.
The workshop is the place of practice, the place where the unexplainable moment when out of a large and often heavy mass of nature a change of form begins to take place, no two pieces can ever be the same.
We provide a unique and considered service, championing British Craft and providing a tailored service for each individual and their needs. Reflecting Design through a nature first approach, highlighting the beauty of the wood we aim to encourage our clients to have their say from start to finish.
It is often said that a tree provides our most intimate contact with nature.
It is within our practice to nurture and develop this relationship with our material so as to give the wood a second life and continue to communicate its beauty.
Joss’ relationship with his material comes from a heightened sense of passion and wonder from his time spent growing up amongst rural environments. Independently studying the tree allowed him to focus on its vital functions thus building a spiritual connection to his material.
With the combination of our own knowledge and skilled technicians, we are able to source a wide range of materials to suit any client's requirements.
