Founder member Stephen Edwards has been designing and building ecological furniture and interiors since 1990. Stephen initially trained as a carpenter and joiner before completing a HND Furniture Design course in 1994 at Rycotewood College. His pioneering ecological furniture has won him several awards, including second prize in the Greenwood Trust's 'Making Connections Competition' (1993), and he was one of two UK finalists in the EcoDesign Europe Competition held in Brussels (1994).
