Summary

Henry Holland Studio has unveiled its debut furniture collection this month, marking a bold new chapter for the designer’s handmade ceramics and homeware brand. Presented during the Mount Street Neighbourhood Arts Festival, the five-piece collection introduces sculptural forms and playful graphic elements while maintaining the meticulous craftsmanship that has become a hallmark of the studio. Designed and handmade in the UK, the series includes a coffee table, side table, console, chair and pouffe, each piece reflecting Holland’s evolving creative universe.
Aesthetically, the collection successfully pushes the boundaries of the studio’s signature style, defined by sculptural forms, graphic playfulness and meticulous craftsmanship. The material palette is rich and textural, fusing patinated bronze, plush mohair and glazed earthenware. While drawing design inspiration from both the Brutalist and Post-Modern movements, the collection fundamentally celebrates the poetic irregularities of handcraft. This ethos is crystallized in the studio’s mantra of “embracing the wobble,” which is expressed through the material forms, including intentional bronze bends, marbled ceramic spheres and unique pebble-shaped cast feet.
Notable highlights include the Nimbo Coffee Table, featuring hand-forged bronze legs, a patina-finished top and suspended ceramic spheres, as well as the Cumulus Chair, which pairs bronze construction with mohair upholstery and cast bronze pebble feet. Further emphasizing the collection’s sculptural identity, the Stratus Console Table showcases an irregular bronze surface supported by twisted bronze legs threaded with the studio’s signature nerikomi ceramic spheres in terracotta and white.
Each piece is made-to-order, underscoring the bespoke nature of the collection and the studio’s dedication to handcraft. For more information, head over to Henry Holland’s official website.
