Tim Stead (1952-2000)

Tim Stead was a British sculptor and furniture maker. His furniture has a wonderful organic, sculptural quality and is incredibly tactile. His work shares a deep understanding and an underlying philosophy to that of George Nakashima - ‘The soul and spirit of the tree, and the dedication of the woodworker to his or her craft’.

Tim Stead’s home ‘The Steading’ in the Scottish Borders is his total work of art - a complete interior, fully furnished. In 2020 the house, interior, adjacent sawmill and workshop was designated Grade A Listed status by Historic Environment Scotland. The house and archive are now managed by the Tim Stead Trust.

Below are a few pieces that I currently have in stock or have recently sold. There’s also some interior photos from a recent visit to Tim’s home, ‘The Steading’ - a magical space.
