ABOUT

Barny Lee is a furniture maker and interior designer based in London and West Sussex. He produces limited edition hand-crafted furniture, alongside offering high-end joinery and interior design consultancy for residential and commercial projects.

  • The furniture is handmade by Barny and a skilled team in West Sussex, where he set up a workshop in 2008. Pieces, such as his hero product The Marl Dining Table, are available to order. A fascination with shapes, proportion and balance is always at the forefront of his design, and his pieces are as much sculptural as they are functional. A lifelong passion for working with wood ensures that his timbers are always painstakingly selected and construction is both traditional and enduringly precise. His pieces are built to last.

  • Designing and producing bespoke joinery, Barny strikes a balance between form and function, mixing contemporary with the traditional and observing how even the slightest changes in proportion and positioning of structures within a room can have a big impact on the feel and flow of a space.

  • In this same capacity, Barny offers interior design consultancy with a particularly architectural vision to projects. Ranging from restaurant layouts and commercial projects to private residences, his ability to visualise spaces combined with a practical understanding of construction, is what makes his work so valuable.

Alongside furniture, Barny also worked in the fashion industry for over a decade. As Chief Designer for men’s luxury accessory brand, Passavant and Lee, an exacting selection of materials and an insistence on great precision for every product was required.

Amongst various influences, having lived and made furniture in Bali over 15 years ago, Barny was particularly impacted by the exceptional spaces he spent time in and built pieces for there. 

In all his work, he is intent on things being made well with great care and enjoyment, giving them the potential to last for generations.
