Jan Hendzel?s Bowater Collection Highlights the Beauty of British Timber
The variety of deep colors in this 9-piece collection will make you appreciate these lesser used woods.
South London-based furniture brand Jan Hendzel Studio has recently released its first-ever full collection, Bowater. Comprising nine pieces, the collection highlights the beauty of homegrown British timber, celebrates British craftsmanship and champions ideals about sustainability in design work. Bowater consists of a chest of drawers, stools, side tables, shelving, a work desk, a media unit, desk tidies/trays and other decorative objects. Only British woods were used in this collection, including olive ash, Sycamore and two other new materials called ?Baked? Ash and ?Baked?

For the waste that are unsuitable for the studio, they are donated to a local charity called Men in Sheds in Eltham, an organization affiliated with Age UK that encourages older men to come together in a space whe...
