Forge Creative

Halnaker, west sussex

At Forge Creative, we craft thoughtful homeware that blends functionality with beauty.

Founded by designer-maker Josh Kennard in 2013, our pieces are made with care in our rural Sussex workshop. Inspired by nature and the unique grain and character of wood, we pair organic materials with clean, minimal design.

Each piece - from hand-turned Trees to chopping boards - is made to be cherished for years to come.

The story behind the business
Meet Forge Creative

Forge Creative is a Sussex-based studio founded in 2013 by furniture maker Josh Kennard.

After studying furniture making at college, Josh set up the workshop to create functional homeware and bespoke furniture for a range of clients. What began with the wooden Trees Josh made for his own wedding soon grew into a business rooted in creating tactile, handcrafted objects.

Each piece reflects a commitment to precision, quality, beauty, and sustainable craft — designed to bring joy and style to any space and to be cherished for years to come.
