richard burnley & paul steel

Richard Burnley took over Design in Wood in 1993 after working with its founder since 1989. He worked in London for ten years as an architect before becoming a furniture designer and maker and moving to Thirsk in North Yorkshire.

Paul Steel started making furniture and joinery in Otley in 1983 and has worked at Design in Wood since 1991. He has a wide range of experience in traditional and modern cabinet making techniques and architectural joinery.

Richard and Paul are furniture designer-makers specialising
in high quality, fitted and freestanding, bespoke contemporary furniture, most of which is made to commission. Most of their work is designed and made to order for particular clients, so they take great care to tailor each piece to meet the individual needs of the project.

All their furniture is handmade, primarily from temperate hardwoods, with other materials such as metals, stone, plastics and leather serving to complement the wood.
