Craft, Interiors & Furniture
Designer, maker and environmentalist Sebastian Cox presents furniture from across his bedroom and dining collections. Britain is one of the most nature-depleted countries on the planet. He strives to change this, championing woodlands and wild lands rich in biodiversity and soaking up CO2.
The Sebastian Cox mission is twofold. The first is to store 100 tonnes of CO2 every year in adored items in people’s homes, community spaces and workplaces. The second is to double the area of woodland and wild land in Britain by 2040, demonstrating how this incredible resource can be used. Together with his team, he designs and makes heirloom furniture, from a nature-first perspective, in his forward-thinking, zero-waste, carbon-counting workshop and studio in London. What's more, he manages his own woodland for biodiversity and resources in Kent. This presentation demonstrates that what we harvest, make and buy can be part of the solution to the climate crisis if we ask, ‘what resources does nature want to give us?’. See the new four poster bed and scorched-through dining set, alongside his ever-popular core collection pieces at this year's festival.
