Jody Koomen II


This table 'The foremen table' or hedgehog table by Jody Koomen was inspired by his finding the skeleton of a hedgehog it is constructed of sycamore and oak.

"This winter we found the bones of a hedgehog, I was amazed how pleasing the shapes of these bones were. They always have this optimum balance between strength and lightness. I'm really inspired by their shapes and how they've evolved to perform very specific functions. I noticed that a number of bones have natural openings in them, these openings are called foramen."

Jody Koomen



Jody Koomen has made a table that is a love letter to a piece of wood, this is his white ash 'Delven' side table in burr white ash.
Jody is based in Northumberland, using restrained design he pays attention to natural patterns and forms in the wood. His use of sustainably sourced, English hardwoods have resulted in a growing body of work of collectable boxes, cabinets and furniture.
