Temper Studio designs and makes idiosyncratic, contemporary furniture, household objects and the occasional structure from a small workshop in rural Wiltshire. Our influences are broad, indiscriminate and irreverent. Our skills and methods are won the fun way, through practice, trial and error. We have a particular love for material combinations, marrying wood, concrete, steel, leather, brass and glass. However, sustainable UK grown timber is the constant throughout. This is for the most practical of reasons, we like woodlands, they’re lovely to be in, and if we don’t give value to the trees that populate them then nobody can afford to maintain them. It’s also fortunate that this country produces some of the most beautiful timbers in the world. Besides our finely crafted bespoke and made to order furniture we take great pleasure in producing our range of small objects for the kitchen and home. There is something very therapeutic about just shaping a piece of tree to reveal it’s grain and character as an object in itself, rather than as a part of some larger, more complex structure. Everything that comes out of our workshop has been made by a skilled intelligent human, with the assistance of some rudimentary machinery all powered by renewable energy and finished with natural oils and waxes.
