We have been working on an extra special Bowater cabinet for our friends over @design__stories

This double fronted beauty combines an Olive Ash cabinet with incredible English Brown Oak.

The complexity of colour and grain structure present within Brown Oak gives us delicious caramels and deep chocolate hues, and there’s nothing quite as satisfying as applying the first coat of oil to bring out its glorious vibrancy.

Brown oak is oak that is naturally coloured by the bracket fungus Fistulina Hepatica, commonly called the Beefsteak fungus.

The fungus breaks down the cellulose of the oak and in doing so turns the timber a deep brown. Once the wood has been cut and dried, the fungus dies, leaving a rich golden brown lumber. If the oak is only partially infected with the fungus you get more stripped ‘Tiger Oak’.

And, if you fancy it, the beefsteak fungus is also edible.

Junior Furniture/Product Designer – Jan Hendzel Studio

We are excited to invite applications for the position of Junior Furniture/Product Designer.

Jan Hendzel Studio is a group of passionate and experienced furniture makers and product designers based in Woolwich, South East London. We pride ourselves on innovative design, challenging technical joinery and pushing the boundaries of what it means to work with wood.

We are committed to equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion and we encourage applications from groups underrepresented in the furniture making sector.

We are looking to fill this role as soon as possible. If you meet the above criteria, please submit your CV/portfolio and your availability/notice period to studio@janhendzel.com along with your phone number and a few lines on what you can bring to the role.

Meet The Makers: Jan Hendzel

We were part of a collaborative venture in craft making excellence brought together by @reddeer
They asked us to create unique pieces for Eat Native’s latest restaurant that sits within Browns fashion’s new flagship store on Brook St, Mayfair.

We collaborated on these beautiful tables with @altrocksurfaces who formed tops made from onyx sheets dusted off from the archives of previous Browns installations, seated on some super special chunky turned ash bases.

“Introducing Jan Hendzel, the Creative Director of Jan Hendzel Studio who sustainably crafted the timber foundations of the tables within Native At Browns. He talks us through the DNA of his furniture design workshop, delving deeper into their signature sustainable approach. See Jan’s work IRL by reserving a table at Native At Browns inside from 18th May”

Shown here is our first prototype of the ‘Native – Browns’ tables. We had chosen to accentuate the beautiful Ash base by doubling up on our usual 12 staves to 24.

Being selective with the timber glue up allowed a feathery chevron pattern to emerge once turned. As it’s our workshop prototype we added in a Scottish elm top to complement the pale ash. Killer combo.

We developed this table base with Ciarán of Red Deer. The final results are three and four legged tables for Eat Native’s latest restaurant that sits within Browns fashion’s new flagship store on Brook St, Mayfair.

For the actual restaurant at Native we collaborated with @altrocksurfaces who formed tops made from onyx sheets dusted off from the archives of previous Browns installations.

As Ciarán of Red deer puts it “In a way they feel like something familiar but at the same time new.”

Thanks for getting us involved @reddeer @brownsfashion @imogendavis @ivanjd looking forward to visiting soon. Good luck!

It’s great to finally be able to share our involvement in the only restaurant project we undertook in 2020. And it is a real beauty.

Explorations in British timber.
Our Bowater side board shown here in olive and baked ash.

All timbers used have been grown here in the UK. Same species just one has been further altered by applying very controlled heat.

The baking of the timber caramelises the natural sugars in the timber turning it an incredible burnt umber.

Once the ripple has been machined we hand finish to an incredible smooth sheen reminiscent of burnished leather.

If you want to know more – please get in touch. The entire Bowater range is available to purchase from our we shop. Image @fergus_coyle

We are looking for a studio manager to contribute to the smooth running and growth of our business. As a key team member you will help manage the day to day running of the studio as well as our growing roster of exciting projects and commissions. You will take initial enquiries through to final delivery – liaising with clients and contractors, and maintain, develop and initiate organisational systems that ensure projects meet budgets, deadlines and client expectations.

At heart, the essential requirements are passion for furniture and design, excellent organisation, adaptability and someone comfortable working closely within a supportive team. We want to build on the success of the Studio’s recent work, and are looking for someone who will join us on our journey to new heights, helping to shape and steer the studio’s future direction.

We are committed to equality of opportunity, diversity and inclusion among our team and we actively encourage applications from groups underrepresented in the furniture making sector.

Ideally this is a full-time position based in our Woolwich studio, South East London, but there is some degree of flexibility dependent on circumstance.

Please note – this is not a job for someone wanting to make furniture in the workshop.
