Our Philosophy

Timeless Design

We create pieces that transcend trends. Our aesthetic is rooted in minimalism, clean lines, and perfect proportions, ensuring that your furniture will feel as relevant in thirty years as it does today.

Uncompromising Quality

From the selection of a single board of timber to the final hand-applied finish, every step is undertaken with an obsessive attention to detail. We use traditional joinery techniques to build pieces that are not just beautiful, but robust enough for generations of use.

Sustainable Practice

True luxury is responsible. We are committed to using sustainably harvested timber, natural, non-toxic finishes, and a made-to-order process that minimises waste. We design for longevity, creating furniture to be cherished, not replaced.

Meet the Founders

Zyqvar Studio is the shared vision of designer Eleanor Vance and master craftsman Ben Carter.

With a background in architecture, Eleanor brings a refined eye for form, proportion, and minimalist aesthetics. Ben, with over two decades at the workbench, possesses a profound understanding of wood and an expertise in traditional joinery. Together, they unite design and making into a seamless process, ensuring every piece that leaves the workshop embodies their shared commitment to quiet quality.

Our Sussex Workshop

Nestled in the British countryside, our workshop is a space for focus and creativity. It's where sketches become blueprints and raw timber is transformed by skilled hands. The scent of sawdust and finishing oil fills the air—a constant reminder of the natural, honest process at the heart of everything we do.
