With London Craft Week and the announcement of the winner of the inaugural House & Garden Craft Prize just around the corner, we thought what better time to introduce some of our favourite British artisans and designer-makers from The List by House & Garden. Perfect for when you’re looking for something a little bit different, artisans and craftspeople’s handmade pieces can liven up rooms and make them reflect your style and personality. Whether it be textiles, wallpaper, ironwork or a picture frame, pieces by British artisans often function in the same way as an antique; by enhancing the room that they inhabit through their unique charm.
The aesthetics of these items is really only one part of why using artisanal and crafted pieces is important. Working with and buying from makers also helps support local economies prosper and keeps traditional techniques alive for the next generation to learn and enjoy. Not to mention that these products are often made to order which helps reduce overconsumption.
If we’ve we convinced you to invest in a piece by an artisan, look not further than the 14 members of The List by House & Garden featured in this gallery. From specialist wallcovering installation to traditional cabinetmaking there’s something for everyone. Be sure to click on the button under each description to learn more about the makers and the unique way they make their products.
