Handcrafted outdoor oak furniture
Gaze Burvill are designers and makers of handcrafted oak furniture and kitchens for the outdoors. Each piece is made for comfort, beauty and lasting quality from sustainable sources. Oak is steam-bent by expert craftsmen at our Hampshire workshop to create the signature curves which make Gaze Burvill designs unique, and a pleasure to own.
The Gaze Burvill Workshop team, from apprentices to experienced skilled craftsmen, draw on traditional skills, like mortice and tenon jointing and steam bending, as well as modern design technology, united by their commitment to producing the finest hand-crafted outdoor furniture in the world.
The Oak we use, Quercus Robur and Quercus Petrea, is sourced from sustainably managed forests in Europe and is widely recognised as being one of the most durable temperate hardwoods, and was described by Gertrude Jekyll as 'the best material for a garden seat'. As well as having strength and durability, oak is also the craftsman's favourite timber: it can be steam-bent into strong, graceful curves, has an exquisite patterned grain and, over time, will acquire a beautiful warm silver colour.
Gaze Burvill has worked with many clients world-wide, both private and corporate, to create beautiful individual commissions for a specific purpose or location. Please get in touch, we would be delighted to discuss your requirements.
