Discover the beauty of conscious, sustainable design
Iain Childs, UK designer and maker has been creating heirloom pieces from his Kendal Studio since 2005. Read his story here.
Iain works primarily in British wood from sustainable sources and is inspired by the creative process of designing something from ‘the scrapbook of ideas’ in his head to a piece that makes a difference in a home. With a focus on form, function and beauty, Iain produces carefully thought out pieces that will be used and loved for years to come.
From stunning bespoke installations and handmade furniture, Iain also brings his decades of experience and skill to everyday household products. Carefully blending design and durability, each item is handmade and beautifully finished to create treasured pieces that last for generations.
Iain is always developing design ideas that provide both maximum impact and minimum waste, using carefully chosen wood for each project. Discover the Childs & Co collections, from personalised, bespoke gifts to handmade furniture to pass through the family or start a conversation about commissioning something truly exciting for your home or workplace.
