Hugh Miller, Born c.1989
furniture maker
From his studio in Liverpool, Hugh Miller designs and makes contemporary studio furniture in wood, Japanese bamboo, and brass. He create collections for exhibition, and bespoke commissions for private clients in the UK and abroad. He trained as an architect at the universities of Newcastle and Sheffied, and sees my furniture as small pieces of architecture. In 2015, he was awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship, in order to travel to Japan to research the unique woodworking arts culture there. This transformative experience led him to develop a set of design principles, inspired by Japanese applied arts philosophy, that now underpin his work.
