I hold over 14 years experience of furniture making and design. I started my professional woodworking journey at the prestigious Peter Hall and Sons workshop in the Lake District village of Staveley. Here I spent six years training and learning traditional furniture making techniques and gained valuable knowledge about furniture design and construction. I have been fortunate to work alongside some of the best craftsman in the industry and I’m deeply inspired by their world class skill they shared with me. With this experience gained, I decided to set up my own furniture making workshop and studio in 2021. I now strive to design and make fresh, inspiring and beautiful pieces with quality and craftsmanship at the heart.

 

I’m lucky enough to live and work in the Dales. I take great pleasure getting out into the hills with my family and dog, whether it’s running or walking and I find the scenery and peace and quiet very inspiring for my designing.

I have competed competitively with my running, representing England, Great Britain and in 2014 became English fell running champion. My running has allowed me to travel to some of the most beautiful parts of the world, experiencing different cultures and new landscapes, which has really shaped and influenced my life.

“I love my job, I thrive on the creativity aspects and the personable working relationships with my customers, that together allows us to create exceptional bespoke furniture.”

Sustainability

At Tom Addison Fine Furniture, I am committed to sustainability in every aspect of my business. I firmly believe that supporting and promoting sustainable practices is crucial for the well-being of our planet and future generations. From the materials I source to the production processes I employ, sustainability remains at the forefront of my decision-making. I prioritise using responsibly harvested and FSC-certified wood, ensuring that my furniture not only satisfies aesthetic desires but also minimises ecological impact. Additionally, I strive to reduce waste, recycle whenever possible, and implement energy-efficient practices throughout my operations. By embracing sustainability, I aim to create beautiful and enduring pieces of furniture that not only enhance living spaces but also contribute positively to the environment.
