Item details

The inspiration for the Wild Beauty collection is global, in a very modern sense. Designer and maker Richard Hardy explains: “For craftsmen working on their own in rural areas like I do, social networks are a lifeline to the outside world. But more than that, they connect you with other designers and makers all over the world.” Inspired by the ‘modern rustic’ approach of craftsmen in Portland, Oregon and a trend for combining beautiful timber with clean lines in Western Australia, Richard arrived at the concept of Wild Beauty.

He observed that while other makers treated wood in a way that celebrated its natural features - live edges, cracks, flaws - their approach was typically combined with rather traditional designs. “I want to capture that wild side, make features of those beautiful natural flaws, but do so in furniture that looks contemporary rather than rustic. It’s time for natural-looking timber to make a modern design statement.”
