At design junction 2019, Forest & Maker, in partnership with STAC architecture, will showcase the furniture collaboration, Graft.
This collection is born through a fusing of our two companies’ complimentary skillsets – design and craftsmanship. We think it demonstrates our vision for contemporary design that is elevated, rather than compromised, by the conscious the use of sustainable materials.
Graft is handcrafted by us – one of the UK’s most sustainable and environmentally conscious commercial furniture makers – at our Wiltshire workshops using solid timber and metal detailing.
Working in partnership with award-winning design studio STAC architecture, Graft is a celebration of exquisite design and a showcasing of the beauty of natural timber. The range – which is made from solid, certified timber – combines sustainable thinking with a clean line aesthetic to compliment and elevate any contemporary design-conscious office environment.
Initially launched at Clerkenwell in May 2019; new additions to the Graft range will be showcased for the first time at designjunction. This includes a desk – which is available in ethically sourced Grown in Britain certified ash and Grown in Britain certified oak (as are all other items in the range).
Commenting on the Graft range our co-founder William Hibbert said:
“Forest & Maker’s partnership with STAC architecture is an obvious and a natural one. We’re extremely excited to work with them to introduce Graft to a brand new audience at designjunction. This is a truly beautiful range of office furniture – and the wonderful thing is, it is an exemplar of British craftsmanship and sustainability.
We believe there is nothing quite like our furniture available on the market.
William Hibbert – Forest & Maker
“In bringing Graft – and our other office ranges to London – we hope to show specifiers that is possible to make more sustainable choices that will contribute to delivering optimum, healthy environments for the people that use them. All of this can be achieved without negatively impacting on the environment.”
Paul Thrush Co-Founder and Director of STAC architecture commented:
“STAC has worked closely with Forest & Maker over a number of years, commissioning furniture for our clients and varying commercial environments. Graft is a natural progression of this successful working partnership and an opportunity to develop a well-designed offering for more inspiring, healthier, office environments.

“The talented team at Forest & Maker translate and elevate our design ideas with their unparalleled understanding of timber, which always makes for an outstanding final product.”
At Forest & Maker we believe that by specifying solid, British made furniture from certified timber such as Graft – it is possible to be sure that a space will be enhanced in a positive way.
“The connection between human health and solid timber materials in the working (and living) environment is now widely accepted. It is up to us to show leadership in this area – and our latest additions to the beautiful Graft range – are a perfect opportunity to open up debate,” concludes William Hibbert.
Graft is a true example of designjunction’s commitment to products that are Made in Britain.
