In an increasingly mass-produced culture, Ash & Plumb choose to walk a different path; paying tribute to traditional craft in a modern context we realise classically sculpted pieces that allow the natural beauty of the material to shine.
The duo work with locally reclaimed, sustainably sourced woods aiming to honour the life of the tree through their work. Constantly amazed by the natural beauty of the British woods they work with, they consider themselves editors rather than creators of nature's finest work.

With a broad and unusual history of creative and practical experience, Barnaby has previously worked in the men's fashion industry as a stylist and writer, working with Shortlist magazine and GQ Australia as a Fashion Editor, the mountain biking industry as a mechanic and sustainable trail builder, as well as in the food industry as a maker of fermented foods.

This broad spectrum of life experience combined with a longstanding passion for woodworking has given him a uniquely creative perspective. From the initial design concept and sustainable sourcing of raw materials to the final product, Barnaby is there every step of the way ensuring each piece is finished to the highest quality and standard.
