Bespoke Woodwork Creations
Handcrafted - Exceptional Quality - Responsibly Sourced
Old Lion Studios is a one man operation from the ground up. From conceptual designs and creation to postage and packaging, the entire process is handled by me, Niall (it’s also me writing this, hello!). While I have always had a keen personal interest in creative design, I have actually spent the last 11 years working as a front line Paramedic in the NHS. I feel it would be a tad disingenuous to say that this experience has enabled me to be excellently suited to selling you housewares, but I do hope that it enables you to see that I’m a hardworking, trustworthy person with a transparent operation who will take your commissions seriously. It’s also handy because I get cheap workplace insurance as there’s “always an on-site medic available”.
My aim with Old Lion Studios is to create wooden furniture that blurs the line between art and function, and to wrap this ideal up in the highest quality possible. Wood is often seen as a weaker, softer cousin to metal, but this isn’t necessarily true - the house I live in was built in the 17th century and still has the original wooden beams in place, almost as good as new. How? With some simple TLC wood can be made to last for decades, and my grand hope is that many of my creations will still be beautiful and functional long after I’m gone. If that level of quality craftsmanship appeals to you, then I am confident you will be satisfied with my products.
Finally, Old Lion Studios will always be environmentally friendly. All wood is locally sourced from trusted suppliers of responsibly grown native species, and all packaging is made from 100% recycled materials. Other than the logo magnet you receive for free with every order, but that’s cool, so it’s okay. That’s how it works, right?
