Hi, this is Clare from Hong Kong.
I am a furniture designer and maker now based in the Lake District.

I began my woodworking journey in 2021 with a designer-maker course at Waters & Acland Fine Furniture School in the Lake District, where a skills-building programme quickly evolved into a deep passion for creating beautiful, meaningful furniture. In 2022, I was selected for a design-led programme at the Snowdon School of Furniture at Highgrove, part of The King’s Foundation, allowing me to refine my ability to design purposeful and timeless pieces with exceptional craftsmanship.

Driven by my love for design and craftsmanship, I established my business in the Lake District and began accepting commissions. For me, every piece is a precious collaboration. I take great care to design thoughtfully around each client’s personal needs, story and vision. It’s truly an honour to create furniture that is deeply personal to you, a pleasure to live with, and built to last for generations.

I’m particularly passionate about celebrating the natural beauty of British hardwoods and incorporating sustainable or reclaimed materials where appropriate. My designs aim to balance elegant simplicity with innovative detailing, resulting in furniture that is both highly functional and modern in aesthetics with timeless quality.

If you have ideas for a design or a collaboration, whether you have a clear vision or are just starting to explore possibilities, I’m here to listen and work with you. Let's create something extraordinary together.
