Thanks for checking out my website. I'm Richard, maker, designer, owner of the Stripey fox.
I spent much of my career working in Theatre. working my way up from stagehand to Production manager. Building scenery for the stage then managing the teams doing the building. I have always been hands on and wanting to make.
When i decided to call it a day on this part of my working life i threw myself at my passion for high quality handcrafted furniture.
the business has grown steadily over the last 4 years, which has enabled me to take on a much larger workspace.
The extra space has allowed me to take on ever larger commissions whilst allowing the space for me to design my own pieces which i exhibit at Craft shows around the country.
The furniture i create draws from many influences and is ever changing. i love to create but also enjoy the collaborative process of designing commissioned pieces to fit the needs and wants of the client.
