Lee Sinclair

It is important in the 21st Century to remember that protecting the World's environment is protecting us all and our children.  Lee is committed to using materials that will last for many generations in styles that are timeless. This is the way to protect the environment. The worst thing that could happen to design is that it becomes fashion orientated, following short term trends with no ethical grounds. Good design is not about fashion but longevity and function.  A beautiful object will always be beautiful no matter how fashion changes.  The best Art Deco and Art Nouveau designs will last and be valued forever and this timeless quality is what Lee strives for in his designs.  It is his view that all design should be functional and beautiful; the maker should enjoy the making and that should show in the completed piece. This is the essential philosophy behind the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain and is even more relevant today with the rise of mass produced life style products.  The important question to ask before buying anything is - why do I want it? and always be honest with your answer. Try to imagine the satisfaction of being involved in the design of your furniture, choosing and discussing the detailing, materials, upholstery etc.

Lee was selected as the number 1 bespoke furniture maker by the Independent Newspaper in 2005.
