The Nailed Collection
The Nailed Collection
Inspired by ancient hand-forged nails discovered whilst mudlarking in London's River Thames design duo Bibbings & Hensby were prompted to research historic forms of nailed furniture.
Together we have created The Nailed Collection which are all exceptional examples of vernacular furniture for the modern home that evokes a sense of abundance and togetherness. From pantries, to sideboards and dressers, these pieces are made with oak and riven ash handles, wrought iron nails and finished with a clear matt oil.
PROCESS
Jack Bibbings and Matthew Hensby make contemporary wooden furniture using traditional joinery techniques and hand tools. Bibbings & Hensby allow the principle of sustainability to guide working practices wherever possible and their London-based workshop is founded on traditional craft principles, which aim to connect the material and hand of the maker in the finished piece. Their work is characterised by a commitment to producing everyday pieces that are suited to modern homes.
