Handcrafted with passion, built to last
Our Journey
BLAM is the culmination of a rich heritage in furniture making, spanning over four decades. Founded by Harry Williams and Josh Howard-Saunders, we carry forward the traditions established at Bates and Lambourne, renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship. With a collective experience of unparalleled expertise, we are dedicated to shaping timeless pieces that will resonate for generations to come.
Passion for Wood
Our expertise lies in crafting furniture from the finest British-grown timbers. We celebrate the unique character and unparalleled beauty of each piece of wood, ensuring that every detail is meticulously preserved. Whether it's the intricate grain of oak or the warmth of mahogany, the material sings in every creation.
A Spectrum of Creations
From traditional Windsor chairs and elegant cabinets to contemporary sculptures and bespoke commissions, our portfolio is a testament to our boundless creativity. We have crafted pieces for private clients, esteemed institutions, and even musicians. No project is too large or too small, for we believe every item should bear the mark of our passion and meticulous attention to detail.
The Maker's Touch
Beyond our technical proficiency, we take pride in the personal connection we cultivate with each project. We engage in open and collaborative discussions with clients to understand their vision and aspirations. From meticulously sourcing materials to painstakingly shaping each piece, we treat every project as a unique journey. This meticulous attention to detail is evident in the flawless joinery, precise craftsmanship, and stunning aesthetics of our pieces.
The BLAM Workshop
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Milton Common, our workshop stands as a testament to our heritage. Reconstructed from a former prisoner-of-war camp, this historical landmark has become our sanctuary, housing our tools, materials, and the heartbeat of our craft. Guided tours offer a glimpse into the meticulous process of furniture creation, allowing you to witness firsthand the passion and skill of our dedicated team.
