Journeyman Furniture - Nicholas Langan

Nicholas Langan of Journeyman Furniture designs and handcrafts high quality contemporary furniture to transform your living and working spaces. The company has a reputation for its imaginative use of wood to create functional and desirable furniture whilst still supporting sustainable forestry practice by using as much native timber as possible. With the creation of each unique piece of furniture they aim to take every effort to help protect the future of wood stock.

Being based in Cornwall, Nicholas is continually inspired to create beautiful furniture and artefacts, which reflect the moods of nature. He is passionate about wood and aims to always try and get the most out of the grain patterns and texture of the timber when creating a piece whilst still playing close attention to the overall form and functionality. In fact quite often he will produce clean lines and employ simple decoration allowing the wood to express itself.

Nicolas is also happy to personally work with you to ensure every piece of furniture enhances and compliments your environment, bringing pleasure to all those who see and use it.

The wood used is mostly local native timber wherever possible, including hardwoods such as brown oak, olive ash, rippled sycamore, wild cherry and curly walnut. Exotic woods and highly figured veneers are also used sometimes but Journeyman Furniture try to ensure that it has originated from an ethical source.

When crafting the furniture a myriad of techniques are used to manipulate materials to create curves and other complex shapes with hand tools always used at the final stages to produce a fine finish.

Nicolas has followed his 'journeyman' path by working on a number of projects for various prestigious clients including David Linley, English Heritage, Liberty, various high end retailers and even the occasional celebrity. He now has a number of personal clients and works with interior designers and architects, designing and creating beautiful furniture and interiors to commission.
