Transforming materials into works of art, one piece at a time.
At Forge Creative, we're a small team of designer-makers based in Sussex, UK, committed to creating bespoke furniture and products that are not only stunningly beautiful but also made to last. Our journey began in 2013, when our founders, Josh Kennard and Oliver Milne, decided to put their creative skills to use in a meaningful way. With a shared passion for woodwork and a vision for unique, high-quality products, we set out to craft pieces that would inspire and delight our customers.
Our Story
Our passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail has led us to create a range of furniture and products that showcase our skills as designer-makers. From dining tables to cabinets, and from wooden bowls to jewelry boxes, we take pride in every project we undertake. Our expertise lies in woodwork, but we also explore other materials like metal, concrete, and glass to create unique surfaces and textures.
Our Values
At Forge Creative, we believe that furniture should be more than just a functional item - it should tell a story, evoke emotions, and become a treasured possession. That's why we dedicate ourselves to crafting exceptional pieces that are not only beautiful but also built to last. Our Lifetime Guarantee is testament to our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Materials and Surface Textures
We work primarily with wood, sourced responsibly, and occasionally use other materials like concrete, steel, and brass. Our materials and surface textures are constantly evolving, reflecting our curiosity and enthusiasm for experimentation and innovation.
Our Process
Our design process is collaborative, and we love working with clients to bring their ideas to life. From conceptualization to realisation, we stay true to our values of quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Whether it's a bespoke piece of furniture or a one-off artwork, we immerse ourselves in every project to ensure that each piece is a masterpiece.
