Gareth Neal is a London-based designer and maker whose work bridges the gap between traditional craft and modern innovation. Known for his thoughtful approach to materials and processes, Neal blends indigenous techniques with contemporary tools to create furniture and objects that tell rich, contextual stories. His fascination with historical craftsmanship and sustainability underpins his practice, as seen in his carbon-negative challenge, where he crafted a table, stools, and candlesticks entirely by hand using wood sourced locally in Herefordshire. Collaborative by nature, Neal works alongside some of the UK’s finest craftspeople, pushing creative boundaries while honoring the environment and the history of his East End neighborhood. His designs balance timeless aesthetics with a deep respect for longevity, ensuring they endure both physically and stylistically.
