The Studio has a reputation for designing innovative and commercially relevant work. We are at ease with the idea of designing products that have application in the real world; if a design doesn’t sell, then perhaps it is not such a great design.

The Studio’s guiding proposition centres on the creation of character through simplicity. This considered approach to design often belies the extent of the intensive analysis and the complex engineering needed to make it succeed. The Studio is known for its rigorous pursuit of solutions that have both a functional integrity and an enduring aesthetic in the belief that it is all too easy to shock, but much more difficult to please.

‘’Ours is not an obsession with form as an end in itself, but with the emotion it incites. Our work is rooted in the conviction that furniture has the ability to influence how people behave, perform, and interact, but most important, how they feel.’’

Mark Gabbertas was born in Yorkshire in 1962 and came to the world of furniture design in a circuitous way having started his working life in advertising before changing career path to train as a cabinet maker. Apprenticed to Codrington Furniture and then with Stemmer and Sharp in the acclaimed Oblique Workshops in Hackney, it was Hackney he chose to found his own design/making studio in 1994. In 2001, he established the Gabbertas Studio in West London to focus on furniture design, before moving the main studio to the Oxfordshire countryside in 2016.
