Jon Mitchell Furniture

Jon Mitchell a new furniture designer based in Leeds West Yorkshire has recently come into the industry bringing his own fresh approach to how British furniture should be designed and made, creating a link to the material, maker and client. Specialising in solid and veneered furniture each piece has the unique philosophy worked into it to highlight and celebrate the natural beauty of the wood to give it a new purpose to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Hand made in Yorkshire the furniture is made rather than manufactured which carries a pride and dedication coming from skilled craftsmen embodying a traditional making style and adapting this for modern joinery techniques.

The first collection designed by Jon had to go against the grain of what has come before and now from a new generation of designer makers, to not only set apart the pieces but the craftsmanship and emphasise this within each piece. With the furniture made in Yorkshire the range is distinctive in the way it has been designed using the same design ethos that each bespoke pieces has the furniture has a greater attention on functionality exploring ways in how the user interacts and enjoys the piece, creating new ways to store and showcase items a enjoyment and passion came from designing and making the first range that transcends out of the sketch book, onto the workbench and eventual the home.

Offering a bespoke design and handmade service Jon Mitchell is able to create truly one off pieces that indulge and explore new depths in the unique philosophy that has developed from a passion for design and making. Starting from the initial sketch the design process is set a part designing around the client to understand there needs, the piece must surpass there expectations in material and design. Using only natural solid woods for the bespoke service each piece carries its own character and beauty that is worked into the design. A symbol that epitomises the love for furniture is the Jam Jar placed into every bespoke piece it contains the time, philosophy and dedication gone into the furniture acting as a signature, signing off the new design having meet the high standards set.

Aspirations for the future continue to develop and flourish for the new designer to make a lasting impression and form new ideas for British furniture establishing new standards of quality in making and design bringing pride and skill back to the industry.
