Who we are
Founded in 2024 by Andrew Strickland, Strickland & Whyte was born from a desire to create timeless, beautiful furniture for the modern home—pieces that honour traditional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and environmental responsibility.
Every piece is handmade in our Bristol-based workshop, using time-honoured techniques and a deep respect for materials—how they’re sourced, how they’re used, and the impact they leave behind. Attention to detail is at the heart of everything we do.
Our aesthetic draws from both classical and contemporary influences, with a focus on pared-back elegance. By stripping away excess, our designs allow form and material to speak clearly—resulting in pieces that feel grounded, purposeful, and at home in any space.
Andrew trained at the renowned Robinson House Studio under master furniture maker Marc Fish, where he refined his skills and developed a deep appreciation for thoughtful, expressive design. He went on to work at Hyde and Gallagher in Stroud, contributing to a wide range of bespoke projects that shaped his vision for how furniture lives within and enhances the spaces we inhabit.
Strickland & Whyte is the expression of that vision: a studio dedicated to crafting distinctive, sustainable furniture with character, clarity, and care.
Material Philosophy
Understanding the environmental impact of our material choices is central to how we work—from deforestation and transportation emissions to the waste generated in production.
At Strickland & Whyte, we’ve put clear measures and principles in place to keep our environmental footprint as low as possible.
With a strong commitment to local sourcing, we use only British-grown hardwoods for all our furniture and structural elements. Where solid wood isn't suitable, we choose the highest quality FSC-certified plywood.
Sourcing locally not only supports sustainable forestry, but also significantly reduces our transport emissions. Thanks to close relationships with nearby sawmills, much of our timber is felled, sawn, and dried within 20 miles of our Bristol workshop.
Over years of experience, we've developed highly efficient machining processes, keeping material waste to a minimum. Offcuts and shorter lengths that might otherwise be discarded are repurposed into smaller homeware pieces—ensuring that as little as possible goes to waste.
