Sculptural wood lighting with Tom Raffield

Sculptural wood is having a moment. The Serpentine Gallery’s is set to unveil on 6^th June its Summer Pavilion – a striking wooden cocoon – signalling a shift in design, embracing fluid, organic forms over rigid lines.

Tom Raffield has been ahead of the curve (literally), mastering steam-bent wood to create sculptural lighting and furniture that soften interiors and bring nature inside. With sustainability at its core, this aesthetic is rapidly gaining traction.

Tom Raffield is one of a new generation of designers and makers, using his craft in innovative and contemporary ways. Leading the charge in sustainable design, he is driven to forge a path to excellence and cause as little environmental impact as possible along the way.

His passion and skill are now shared with his talented team of craftspeople, together they create objects that symbolise nature, tell a story and will last a lifetime, all whilst protecting the natural world.

“Each piece we create has been on an experimental journey – individual, organic and carefully considered. We source everything from sustainable woodlands, which, coupled with the low energy steam bending process, is a very ecological practice with little wastage,” explains Tom Raffield, founder.

Handcrafted in their BREEAM Excellent studios in Cornwall, England, the range of contemporary lighting, furniture and accessories, Tom Raffield creates is based on beauty, integrity and a desire to create unique, high specification objects that will be cherished by their owners for years to come.
