Johnny Hawkes has had a long and eventful career in designing and making furniture. His enthusiasm for his work, his love of wood and his forward-looking optimism is reflected in his work by his adventurous designs and innovative use of traditional and modern materials. His best work has a sensuality of line and sculptural form that raises it above the level of a lot of modern furniture. His down-to - earth attitude and business-like approach to his work is a pleasant surprise for his clients.
"You choose the wood carefully, you put all of your affection into it sometimes it has humour in it."
