Tom Raffield Ltd was founded in 2008, and is the perfect example of a Cornish-based business looking at things differently. In this article, we’ll look more closely at Tom and his business, his unique design work and some new releases to his ever-growing range of products.
Tom discovered the traditional technique of steam bending wood whilst studying his degree in 3D Sustainability & Design. Starting his business was the very beginning of a self-taught journey of developing and understanding the process to become one of the world leaders in his craft.
Tom is always looking for new, greener ways to run the business. Passionate about pushing the boundaries of design and exploring the latest techniques to pioneer innovative products and practices, the business uses the latest technologies to find ways to improve and to align the business with the very best.
