!"#$%&'()*+%,
Alfred Newall is a furniture designer and maker based in
Sussex. He is inspired by historic pieces and rural
vernacular design, and uses traditional methods and
processes in his work. After training at the Building Crafts
College, Alfred worked for Plain English Design for two
years while setting up his own practice. His focus is on the
qualities of utilitarian design and proportion, with
functionality and longevity at the core. Each piece is made
in his workshop on the edge of the South Downs, using
sustainably sourced materials.

T H E P RO C E S S

Alfred's bobbin tables are made up of a simple

assembly of components.The legs are hand-turned on a
traditional wood lathe, which is much like the potter's
wheel in simply providing a turning axis. The process
involves simultaneously spinning and shaping the leg
component; it begins square and through careful use of
a chisel, the sequence of bobbin rounds are gradually
formed. Once the profile is realised, the leg is spun
fur ther and hand-sanded to give a smooth finish. Since
launching his first table for The New Craftsmen, Alfred
has expanded the use of this bobbin technique into
table lamps and mirror frames. Each piece is unique
and celebrates the individual grain patterns on each
bobbin round.
