About
Object Atelier
Object Atelier is a London-based joinery workshop with a simple approach: to create pieces that feel effortless, balanced, and built to last. Founded in 2018, our work is shaped by a deep respect for materials, a commitment to craftsmanship, and a philosophy of collaboration and transparency.
From private homes to workspaces and hospitality settings, we craft bespoke furniture and interiors that seamlessly integrate into their surroundings. Whether it’s a sculptural boardroom table or a complete interior, every project is a thoughtful exploration of form, function, and materiality.
Our South East London workshop is where ideas take shape - a space for making, refining, and pushing concepts further with care and precision. Collaboration is at the heart of our process, ensuring that every piece feels just right in its space.
Our founders, George and Simon, know firsthand how valuable the right tools and support can be when you're just starting out. When they decided to launch a joinery company, they began in a communal workshop, sharing resources and honing their craft.
To give back, they created Benchspace - a dedicated initiative that provides small businesses with access to high-end machinery, helping them get off the ground.
If you’d like to visit our workshop, we’d love to show you around. Or, if you’re a maker looking for support, explore Benchspace or reach out at contact@objectatelier.co.uk - we’re always happy to help.
