From within Thomas Veryard, I look to explore my deep-rooted love for vernacular furniture and the time old processes used to create them through my own pieces of furniture and objects, made using traditional hand tools which imbue a unrivalled sense of craftsmanship within every piece made by my hands. A lot of these tools have been passed down to me by my grandfather, others have been used by many hands before me. Nonetheless, each made beautifully and continue to help me with my work in the same manner while carefully maintained.

All of the pieces I make are (and forever will be) made by my own hands, ensuring each piece is paid the meticulous detail is deserves to be owned proudly for many years to come. For larger pieces I work on a made-to-order basis, though will release small batches of small objects and furniture seasonally, available to purchase on my website Shop.

After graduating from University in Sheffield studying Furniture Design, I found myself drawn to the making process of furniture and the want for working with my hands more so than the appeal of working digitally within a studio. This slight change of path is what led me to securing a position as a maker at Matthew Cox, which my design background and making through school gifted me this opportunity. Looking back, this expanded my skillset for making furniture dramatically, as well as my love for the craft I find myself within.

Over the last 4 years, I have completed projects for countless renown interior designers for Matthew Cox and honed my craft alongside gifted craftsmen. It is all of this which has led me to setting up my own furniture practice and business - Thomas Veryard.
