You may have heard of JD.Lee Furniture before, or perhaps the small designer-maker studio in Byron Bay hasn’t come across your radar. Regardless, the bespoke brand has released its newest collection consisting of ten alternative styles of chairs. Handmade in-house, the collection focuses on the intimate connection we create with the objects that surround us every day.
“Most makers stay away from chairs because they are so expensive to produce and most designers opt to have their work manufactured overseas where it is cheaper to do so,” shares Jeremy Lee, Director of JD.Lee Furniture, whose dedication to changing that narrative is tangible in his oeuvre.
Lee believes that nurturing this connection is essential for the longevity of his work and a sustainable future. The brand focuses on traditional joinery and simple aesthetics. Over the years, the evolution of skills the small studio has attained in design and manufacturing has been applied to a perpetual cycle of collection releases. Inaugurated in 2015, the last nine years have seen four new collections of work, each better than the last.
