Birch (Selsdon) in Croydon is turning its whole focus to nature. The 200+ acre golf course is being rewilded along Knepp lines and it’s just magical. The food is delicious, the whole place is beautifully put together, and it’s all inside London! Go go, stay here.

Such an honour to speak at the @V_and_A today alongside @GabrielHemery @formafantasma and others as part of a symposium about forestry and design. We need a new wood culture which appreciates harvesting as well as planting/regen. #makegood

I’m seeing so many sentimental posts this morning of fallen trees after storm #eunice. Trees have such meaning to us, it’s so sad to see. Before cutting up for firewood, consider that trees can be given second life as meaningful furniture using a mobile sawmill.

"What if we could take a tree's perspective and see the extra CO2 as a resource we can work with." @sebastiancoxltd believes that by understanding the carbon cycle, designers can work hand in hand with nature to develop sustainable new materials. #climatechange #sustainable

How wonderful it is to spot our bespoke Bayleaf bedside tables in House and Garden this month! If you like those bedside tables but prefer them a little wider taller, or in ripped sycamore rather than oak, you need only ask our Studio Manager, Eleanor: studio@sebastiancox.co.uk

This coppiced hazel & elm chair is an evolution of the original Suent Superlight chair which launched our business ten years ago. A British elm seat cradled in a coppiced hazel frame makes it exceptionally strong and as the name suggests, beautifully light.

The coppiced birch & ash coffee table looks like it’s floating above the frame. It may be clean and simple but this piece is not without character or substance. Cut from our own woodland, the birch holds onto slithers of bark, making each one slightly different from the next.

A strong and simple sideboard, with sliding doors, held aloft by a frame of coppiced sweet chestnut. The Coppiced sweet chestnut & cherry sideboard is made using English cherry but can be customised in any one of the varied, beautiful British woods we work with.

We suspect we’re not the only ones feeling that a few of our well-laid plans for 2020 never made it to fruition. Rather than feeling flat, we took the opportunity to reflect on ten brilliant, diverse years full of work we’re immensely proud of! https://t.co/18nWWLvIvY

YOUR TREE, OUR MILL: Using the clients own tree, we designed and made a set of ten woven chairs to sit around a spectacular outdoor dining table. A glorious oak tree had to be felled and we continued the life of this tree by transforming it into a grand outdoor dining set!
