Who We Are
SIMON BRADLEY
Design has always been a part of Simon's life, which was first realised as the Art Director and Editor of a European watersports magazine in his twenties. This led to a successful career as a freelance photographer and designer servicing clients in the Action Sports industry, helping international brands create their visual identity through branding and marketing.
Having always enjoyed woodworking as a hobby, a number of small project for friends and family led the way to forge a new career with a line of wooden and leather home-goods which sold in stores and boutiques throughout Canada, after he moved to Quebec in 2016, while continuing to build custom furniture.
The knowledge of design and how to engineer clean and contemporary furniture, have been the foundation of a using traditional techniques to make modern heirloom pieces.
