Jan Hendzel Studio is looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Furniture Maker to join our award-winning team on a freelance basis for an initial 6-month period, with potential for ongoing work afterwards.
We create expressive furniture, sculptural objects, and bespoke interiors that combine impeccable design, craft, and precision. Working primarily with British-grown timbers, we push the boundaries of what can be achieved with wood while maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality, longevity, and responsible production.
Our projects range from one-off bespoke commissions and commercial joinery to public-facing sculptures, artist collaborations, and our own furniture collections exhibited internationally.
Due to upcoming project commitments, we are looking to bring an additional maker into the workshop for an initial 6 months period, ideally working five days per week in our South East London studio.
While this opportunity is initially for 6 months, we would ideally like to build a longer-term relationship with the right maker. There may be opportunities for ongoing freelance work beyond that, and potentially a permanent role in the future as the studio continues to grow.
We are looking for a capable and motivated furniture maker with solid experience in bespoke furniture production and a genuine passion for working with timber.
Our work is often technically demanding and design-led, requiring strong practical skills, attention to detail and a willingness to contribute ideas and solutions. You will work closely with our workshop team across a variety of projects, helping deliver work to the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality.
Due to the bespoke and project-led nature of our work, some flexibility around working hours and occasional additional time may be required to help meet project deadlines.
You are passionate about making exceptional furniture and take pride in your work. You are reliable, proactive and eager to contribute to a workshop environment where craftsmanship, collaboration and continuous improvement are valued.
You enjoy problem-solving, learning new skills and working on a diverse range of projects. You are equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
