Jonathon Vaiksaar MSDC
Furniture & Boxes
Following a rudimentary introduction to woodworking, design and metal work at school Jonathon continued to work with wood, making furniture for himself whilst pursuing a career in business where he worked in supply chain management for 15 years. Jonathon decided in 2013 to leave the corporate world to focus on a more creative outlet and started his woodworking career, building up his workshop and experience ever since. Jonathon has been making boxes professionally for 10 years now.
Jonathon has and continues to exhibit at several shows across the UK including London Craft week at Future Icons, the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair and Celebration of Craftsmanship & Design in Cheltenham. His work has been highly commended by Woodland Heritage for its innovative use of British timbers, and has received commissions from The Furniture History Society, along with many private clients across the globe.
