Simon Thomas Pirie

Simon’s furniture is a subtle combination of elegant design and detail complementing the beauty of the timbers he loves to work with. Based in Dorset, he established his first workshop in 1998, moving to larger premises in 2007. Although most of his work is for discerning private clients he has also made furniture for Universities, Churches, corporate business and more recently, public art projects.

Simon Pirie initially trained as a sculptor, then went on to Hooke Park College, part of John Makepeace’s Parnham Trust. He established his own workshops in 1998 in mid-Dorset. Since then he and a small team of makers and have produced a huge variety of projects; from dining sets, to a ceremonial mace, to complete kitchens and interiors. The business remains small by choice, avoiding mass production, enjoying the challenge of bespoke ‘one-offs’ and working closely with clients. Whenever possible Simon utilises native timbers, reflecting an interest in forestry and environmental issue first awakened at Hooke.
