Theo Silkstone designs and makes sculptural, heirloom-quality furniture that highlights the natural beauty of solid wood. With a background in Materials Science from Oxford and formal training at Rycotewood, his work combines technical knowledge with traditional craftsmanship and a contemporary aesthetic.
Each piece is developed through a collaborative and considered design process. Commissions range from custom desks and vinyl cabinets to tea boxes and statement chairs—each made to last for generations. Solid timber is favoured over board materials, chosen for its tactility, longevity, and ability to age beautifully.
The commissioning process includes concept development, technical drawings, timber samples, and clear visualisations to ensure clarity before making begins. Alongside furniture making, Theo is planting a woodland to support sustainable timber production for the future.
Commissions have come from across the UK and enquiries are welcome from individuals, designers, and architects seeking meaningful, enduring furniture.
