Fingers Furniture

Barry is a very talents carpenter who lives and runs Finger Furniture in Leicester, which so happens to be my family hometown.

We met at the Tweed Run in London this May, when conversation was struck up seeing the matching wooden mud guards and handle bars on his bike. Finger Furniture normally takes on commissional work for domestic kitchens as well as the interiors for camper vans, Barry's past work was on film sets most notably for Wallace & Gromit. This is Barry and his brother at the Tweed Run talking to the penny-farthing cyclist 17_IMG_5624.jpg

Barry very kindly invited me to visit his workshop and showed me how he makes the bike mud guards and handle bars.

I hope to commission Barry in the coming months for JHBeulah delivery bike and in the far future the interiors of JHBeulah boutiques! 

The Necklace Line

Every item produced by JHBeulah are all individual pieces, though some may be made from the same fabric, there will always be variations in the final make up of the piece. JHBeulah is a practice that exercises’ eco principles as far as possible, as well as producing high quality items by the same disciplines and techniques as couture practice. 

Many of the pieces are made from raw silk taken from fabulous wedding gowns, lace purchased from French flea markets and always vintage buttons.

Inspiration

JHBeulah is an eco- friendly women's accessories brand, with the aim of diverting useable quality materials heading for the landfills and reinventing it into something entirely new. The story of this brand is very much lead by the production: protecting the British environment, promoting British made cloth and crafting the product in Britain.
