Will Nock Furniture
Working from his harbourside workshop in Falmouth, Cornwall, Will Nock creates collections of considered furniture using locally sourced oak. He gradually removes material using traditional sculpting tools, drawing on his coastal surroundings to influence form, texture and balance.
Mawnan round side table crafted from oak by TOAST New Maker Will Nock, whose furniture is inspired by his home on the Cornish coastline. He uses traditional hand tools to slowly shape locally sourced wood into functional forms, each a reflection of the rugged landscape he draws from.
Tapered in a natural curve, the top is textured by hand and attached to long legs and can be used as a stool or a small side table. The table is treated with a natural oil and wax blend which leaves a tactile finish. Each varies slightly in shape and colour.

Will Nock | Working with Wood
Furniture designer Will Nock creates work that responds to his material’s unique nature. After studying graphic design at Falmouth University, Will realised he preferred working with physical materials over channelling his creativity digitally. He taught himself carpentry, learning how to work with the unique grain of different woods to shape it into functional furniture. With a practice perched on the Cornish coast, Will’s pieces are informed by his rugged surroundings and crafted from locally sourced wood. All of his pieces for TOAST will be made from oak, a material known for its longevity and durability.
“Even after the tree has been chopped down, the wood still breathes and reacts to the humidity. It moves with the seasons, so you’re sort of giving it a second life.”
