OUR ETHOS
We believe in making our designs as sustainable as possible. All of our wood is FSC, sustainably and locally sourced.
We predominately use ash / oak / walnut wood giving the option of light to dark. This enables our pieces to suit any existing space or interior scheme.
Our lights often use high quality plywood which is made using the highest grade of birch, sustainably sourced by manufacturers who share our ethos.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Cat feels fortunate to have grown up surround herself in nature, with woodlands, rivers, and the ocean to inspire her creative mind.
After studying at the Leeds University, she took her love for design and now teaches Design Technology at school in Petersfield. Teaching children help expose her to the freedom of designing not just with pencil and paper, but more-over, by taking various materials and experimenting with their manipulative properties, finding a specific interest in the endless exciting possibilities of bending and twisting wood.
At Fig and Crocodile, using skilled craftsmanship, we ensure every component receives personal attention, often being handled by the maker several times in its journey from sourced material to completed artefact. Initial concepts move to sketches, quickly progressing to vast experimentation in the workshop, using the manipulative qualities of the materials we use to create the desired forms.
