Tim Forrester is one of Britain's most innovative designers. He achieved great success during a period spent working in Milan & has now returned to the UK to continue designing & manufacturing his high quality, inspirational and versatile furniture ranges.

The UK based designer-maker produces simple yet effective products that are beautiful as well as multi-functional - they demand to be touched, as well as used & admired. Tim’s design philosophy is based around the interaction between object and user and how everyday objects and activities can become more pleasurable, memorable, satisfying yet enjoyable; resulting in furniture that is a fusion between disciplines.
