Maker's bio

Bertram trained as a cabinet maker in 2010 and runs his own workshop designing and making bespoke furniture for interior designers and private clients in the UK and abroad. His work has appeared in the V&A in London. While he specialises in making free-standing pieces from solid timber and veneers, he has always embraced interesting materials. These include upcycled components, recycled glass and plastic, metal leaf and the humble loofah to name a few. His love of materials, form and colour guides how he creates his furniture and homewares, and he is now sharing the wonders of creating useful objects through his courses.
