The Alan Lake Furniture collection is the epitome of form and function. Although the style of it might not suit everyone, it is hard to deny the artistic quality of each piece. From raw wood aesthetics to tribal-like designs, the creations are deemed 'investment furniture' by the artist for a reason. Lake states that with his creations a person would be furniture their home with "practical works of art."
From bed sets to desks and more, the Alan Lake Furniture collection is made from such traditional British Hardwoods as Ripple Walnut, Ripple Sycamore, Burr Elm and Yew. Since no two are alike, the pieces will easily become talking points for guests. As written on Lake's website, "Inspired by nature, his timeless creations draw on the intrinsic beauty of each piece of timber to create collectible works of art."
