Built by Hand. Driven by Craft.
A Workshop, a Vision, a Legacy
Grove Studio began in a converted barn on the outskirts of London in 2010. Founder David Grove had spent a decade learning traditional joinery under master craftsmen across Britain and Scandinavia, and came home with one conviction: that handcrafted furniture had no ceiling.
What started as a two-person operation has grown into a studio of twelve dedicated craftspeople, serving private clients, interior designers, and architects across the UK and Europe.
We've never sacrificed the principles that started us. Every commission is still hand-drawn before it's hand-built. Every piece still leaves our workshop only when it's ready.
Three Pillars of Our Practice
Materials
We source only sustainably certified hardwoods — white oak, black walnut, maple, and reclaimed timber. Every plank is hand-selected for grain, density, and character.
Craft
Traditional joinery techniques — mortise-and-tenon, dovetail, bridle joints — reinforced with modern precision. No shortcuts, no filler, no compromise.
Longevity
We build furniture that outlives trends. Every piece comes with a lifetime structural warranty and is designed to be repaired, not replaced.
Meet the Studio
David Grove
Founder & Master Craftsman
With 15 years at the bench and a background in traditional joinery, David started Grove Studio out of a single-bay workshop. His philosophy: every piece should tell a story.
Miriam Adeyemi
Lead Designer
Miriam bridges the gap between vision and woodgrain. With a degree in furniture design and an eye for proportion, she shapes every commission before a single board is cut.
Tom Whitfield
Head of Installation
Tom ensures every piece lands perfectly. From templating complex spaces to the final reveal, his attention to detail is what turns a great piece into a perfect fit.
Where Every Piece Begins
Our 6,000 sq ft workshop in Walthamstow, London is where raw timber becomes heirloom furniture. Equipped with traditional hand tools alongside precision CNC capabilities, we choose the right approach for each job.
Visits by appointment. We love showing clients around — seeing where your commission is born makes it that much more meaningful.
