ABOUT

Tree of Wonderful is a furniture making and design company based in East Lothian, Scotland and was set up by recent Chippendale School of Furniture graduate Laura Dorothy. T.O.W’s name was inspired by a quote from Barbara Kingsolver’s spectacular book “Demon Copperhead”.

“I’ve tried in this telling, time and again, to pinpoint the moment where everything starts to fall apart. Everything, meaning me. But there's also the opposite, where some little nut cracks open inside you and a tree starts to grow. Even harder to nail. Because that thing's going to be growing a long time before you notice. Years maybe. Then one day you say, huh, that little crack between my ears has turned into this whole damn Tree of Wonderful"

Barbara Kingsolver

This quote for Laura embodied the journey of learning a new craft but also how craft can save you from yourself.

Tree of Wonderful’s goal is to create objects and furniture that will last for generations, bringing enjoyment to both the customer and maker.
