Maker's Quote
I definitely work from an idea, and then from a design. I’m someone who’s trying to get the wood to do what I want. I use certain aspects of its natural, physical properties. Some people get hypnotised by the timber itself, whereas I want to be in control of it.

The Process
Gareth Neal has created numerous pieces for The New Craftsmen, including the Brodgar Chair. Inspired by the Orkney chair, a traditional piece from North East Scotland, the Brodgar is an exploration of materiality and unique processes of the British Isles.
