London Design Festival 2022: SCP enlisted ten British designers to create furniture and objects from a felled ash tree from founder Sheridan Coakley’s Hampshire garden
2022: SCP enlisted ten British designers to create furniture and objects from a felled ash tree from founder Sheridan Coakley’s Hampshire gardenTen British furniture designers – including Faye Toogood and Sebastian Cox – have come together to create unique objects out of one ash tree that had to be felled due to disease.
As well as Cox and Toogood, designer-makers for the project include Max Bainbridge, Poppy Booth, Matthew Hilton, Sarah Kay, Grant Wilkinson and Teresa Rivera of Wilkinson & Rivera, Moe Redish, and Coakley’s son Oscar. After the tree was cut down in April 2022, Coakley invited the designers to come and select which element or section of the tree they wanted to work with, and Cox – who owns a mobile sawmill – was able to cut the wood up accordingly. The wood was then air-dried, seasoned and dispatched to all of the makers’ studios. The resultant objects – spanning a range of forms – are a celebration both of wood craftsmanship in general and the unique tree in particular.
