WELCOME TO ZAYIN
Zayin Studio is a company built around precision, detail oriented intentionality and a sustainable take on hardwood fine furniture. Based in Sussex, England, I have always had a keen love of crafting things by hand, and our customised bespoke woodwork is no exception. All the timber used in any of our builds is locally and sustainably sourced, and approved by all the right people to make sure that we can do our bit to look after the planet. The finishes that are used are also almost always made from all natural ingredients, with the same goal in mind.
All in all, our hand crafted work is perfect for anything from Christmas and birthday gifts for family and friends, to kiting you out for your next home renovation. So do get in touch if you’re interested.
WOODWORK
As mentioned, the biggest priority is looking after the planet. To that end, I always look for locally, and sustainably, sourced timber (it helps to have a saw mill just down the road that specialises in native timbers).
During my degree I fell in love with the Bauhaus movement. They taught that everything, in form and function, has to be reduced to its most basic components. Dieter Rams was influenced by this movement, who in turn influenced all of Apple’s products, which is why everything either has one button or no buttons. So if you were to give me creative control, that’s most likely the style you can expect.
Tables are my favourite designs to build. I see them as gathering points, and places for conversation and connection which makes it an honour to build the thing that can facilitate those moments.
SHOP
If you’re not wanting something as large as a dining room table just yet, feel free to take a look at my store. I have a well designed, hand crafted range of smaller kitchenware items including bottle openers and cutting boards; as well as lovely accent pieces for the home such as wood-themed wall art and smaller side tables.
These make great gifts for anyone, at Christmas or on a birthday - so I’d say it’s worth a look.
BESPOKE
Most of my work comes from custom orders where people got in touch with a full variety of ideas - from some very specific designs, all the way through to simply, “surprise me”. Do get in touch yourself if you would like me to make a specific design idea become a reality for you. Most recently I have been asked to do a library, and, at the same time, a bird feeder. So I’m open to all requests.
THE STORY
After finishing my degree in Design Engineering, I knew that I wanted to work with my hands, and not just find myself in front of a computer all day. The big problem with that is that design jobs offer just that - designing, not building. So very quickly it became clear that I needed to carve out a career path for myself that would allow me to do both - so here I am seeing how it goes…
