I used 100 % recycled plastic, with a chalk finish to emulate the surface of the cliff. It stands at japanese coffee table height, 33cm high and 2.2m long. The name ' Navis ' means ' boat ' in Latin, marking the sailing trip I made around the British south coast. .

Thibaut Degenne
Having worked in Software Engineering for a lifetime, I wanted to develop practical skills with tangible results and hopefully make something I could be proud of. The course has provided me with an insight into the exacting standards necessary to create fine furniture and is equipping me with the key skills. I have particularly enjoyed Marc’s enthusiasm for the design elements, his encouragement to challenge traditional design and to be open to a breadth of inputs/influences.
Gordon White
During my time at Robinson house studio I learnt how to combine traditional making techniques with modern design.

It certainly proved to be an exciting environment to be a part of, with emphasis on contemporary design and the use of innovative new materials and techniques.
Luke Olney
I followed Marc’s 12 week course and am delighted with what I learned and achieved. Marc is an excellent teacher. He is thorough and patient and adapts his advice well to the ability and confidence of each and every student.

It was an easy choice after that to sig… Read more
