Paul Swatridge         

Designer maker of small and decorative items for the home which are both practical and beautiful. Individually crafted in local hardwoods, they include sculptural candlesticks, hand-carved coat hooks, framed mirrors and 'free form' occasional tables using locally harvested branch wood.

Paul started his career as a founding partner of Somerset based Stuart Interiors , leaders in 17th century oak reproduction furniture and architectural joinery. Paul worked in this context for 15 years producing traditional hand-carved decoration.

In 2003 Paul received support from the Arts Council to change direction and develop his own contemporary designs. He moved to Dorset in 2006.
