Meet the Makers: pachadesign
Nestled on the picturesque North Devon/Cornwall coast, pachadesign is a design/make partnership dedicated to creating unique furniture and objects from locally sourced, reclaimed and sustainable resources. Founders Sammy and Glenn bring a blend of creativity and craftsmanship to each piece they produce, transforming raw materials into works of art that combine modern aesthetics with traditional values.
At the heart of pachadesign’s philosophy is a simplistic, uncomplicated approach to design. Sammy and Glenn draw inspiration from the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection. This ethos is evident in their work, which emphasises clean lines, abstract shapes, and a raw, natural aesthetic. Whether it’s oak, stone, or metal, they carefully hand-select each material, ensuring that every piece reflects their commitment to quality and authenticity.
Materials with Character........
pachadesign’s love for the natural rawness of materials like oak, is central to their creations. By using our sustainable timber, they infuse each piece with a sense of history and character. No two pieces are ever the same; some have subtle differences, while others are completely unique. This individuality is a testament to the materials themselves, each bearing the marks of its past life.
Every item crafted by pachadesign is made with mindfulness and intention. Sammy and Glenn’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that each piece is not only beautiful but also functional.
Their workshop and showroom in Welcombe is a space where creativity and craftsmanship converge, resulting in products that embody the essence of sustainable, thoughtful design.
Pared-Down Aesthetics
pachadesign’s work is characterised by a pared-down aesthetic that emphasises simplicity and elegance. By focusing on the essential qualities of the materials they use, they create pieces that are both timeless and contemporary. Their designs often feature clean lines and abstract shapes, resulting in a modern aesthetic that is both understated and striking.
In addition to furniture and objects, pachadesign also creates spaces that reflect their design philosophy. Whether it’s a residential interior or a commercial project, their approach to space design is guided by the same principles of simplicity, sustainability, and mindfulness. Each space they create is a harmonious blend of form and function, infused with the unique character of the materials they use.
