🪵 FULL CIRCLE FURNITURE | BENT LAMINATION DEMONSTRATION
Come and discover the craft and history behind the Springwood Lounger.
Originally developed in 1984 by furniture designer/maker Richard Henley and designer/boatbuilder James Edwards, the lounger was created using a simple philosophy: build everything in-house.
Their own moulds, jigs, and clamping systems made bent lamination accessible to small workshops without expensive machinery.
Now Richard is bringing the process to life in a hands-on demonstration, using a shop-made, hand-operated jig to create the lounger’s curved side components.
See the process from lamination and finishing through to the final glue-up.
🔨 Come along and see it happen!
