With an experimental workshop set amongst six acres of ancient woodland in Cornwall, Tom Raffield furniture and lighting designs are synonymous with nature; each product is hand crafted using sustainable timber and created as sculptural pieces of art using in an innovative take on the low-energy process of steam-bending.
Celebrating the skill and the coming together of contemporary craftmanship with traditional manufacturing techniques employed by the Tom Raffield team, more than 80 Tom Raffield sculptural pendant lights will be suspended in the trees of the festival’s Sauna Corner in an immersive, illuminated installation.
Inspired by the natural environment surrounding their Cornish woodland studio and incorporating sustainable-design practices, the installation will continue the themes at the heart of Port Eliot Festival and Tom Raffield; being handcrafted using sustainably sourced, British hardwood species similar to the trees found in the grounds of the Port Eliot Estate.
