A furniture studio built around oak, proportion, and quiet permanence.
Oak & Furniture creates bespoke solid oak furniture for homes that value fewer, better pieces — made with attention to proportion, material, and daily use.
Fewer pieces. Better made.
Our studio is built around a simple belief: a well-made piece of oak furniture should feel settled in the home from the beginning and continue to earn its place over time.
Each commission is handled personally, from the first conversation through to material selection, design decisions, making, and final preparation.
Led by Edward Hale, founder and furniture maker.
Edward Hale
Founder & Furniture Maker
Oak & Furniture is led by Edward Hale, a furniture maker based in Derby, England. His work focuses on bespoke solid oak furniture for private homes, considered interiors, and rooms where proportion matters as much as material.
Edward’s approach is deliberately measured. Before a piece is drawn or made, he looks at the room it will live in: the wall length, the light, the storage need, the seating plan, and the way the furniture will be used each day.
That practical attention shapes every commission, from oak dining tables and benches to sideboards, media cabinets, alcove shelving, built-in storage, and home office furniture. The aim is simple: make fewer pieces, make them properly, and let them feel settled in the home.
What guides the work.
Restraint
We avoid unnecessary decoration and focus on proportion, material, and details that serve the piece.
Usefulness
Storage, seating, shelving, and surfaces are planned around the way they will be used every day.
Permanence
We choose solid oak, careful construction, and finishes that can be lived with, cared for, and renewed over time.
For private homes and considered interiors.
We work with homeowners, interior designers, and small residential projects where made-to-measure oak furniture can bring order, warmth, and long-term value to a space.
Typical commissions include dining tables, media cabinets, alcove storage, shelving, sideboards, desks, and fitted pieces for rooms that need a more exact solution than standard furniture can offer.
