Stig - Industrial Art Furniture

Info:  Bob Campbell was born in 1963 and is a self taught English sculptor. He is best known for his furniture design and his use of redundant mechanical and industrial parts. His home and workshop are located in South Yorkshire, a region of England that was traditionally a centre for heavy engineering and steel production. The area experienced a dramatic decline in fortunes from the 1980's onwards and this is evident in both the forms and materials he works with.

"I make sophisticated sculptures that go far beyond their functional use. Every piece of work I produce takes its own form, each piece of material I use is re-claimed and re-used from industrial machinery that has now been discarded and, by doing this, I create a sculpture that has a use as well as an aesthetic beauty. My work is not only a sculpture, it is a piece of history that addresses the global need to re-use exsisting materials."

Tom Raffield

Info:  My ethos is to create products that will be cherished, enjoyed and loved. I also strongly feel in our disposable culture longevity, which is the basis for sustainability. In an ideal world, sustainability is a by-product of good design. Running a business in a sustainable way should naturally be sound business practice. Having a comprehensive knowledge of the production process, from the selection of a tree to the final finishes and packaging, it provides me with the skills to minimise the environmental impact and make the work economically viable.

I use local timber from renewable resources, which reduces transportation. The wood is unseasoned, green timber, an alternative to seasoned / kiln-dried timber, which is an energy intensive process. Steam bending is the main form of production. It’s a low energy method of manufacturing, with little wastage. There’s no use of toxic or harmful chemicals; just water! Wood waste is taken to the local smoke house, which use it to cure their fresh mackerel and salmon. Local suppliers and manufacturers are used where possible. Not only is this often cost effective, but it also helps to support local business and economy. Each piece is crafted so it will last over a lifetime. I'm also still working on ways in which to decrease each product’s carbon footprint when being transported to its destination.
