MEET THE ARTISAN BEHIND FUGA RUSTIC

Based along the coast of the New Forest, where intrigued clients can moor up for private viewings and meet designer and fabricator Greg Harper, who hand crafts his artisan furniture.

Greg combines traditional methods with his own unique style. Keeping true to the natural oak, feeling and following the contours of each piece of wood.

“Some of our oak is over 300 years old! It is incredible to think of what these mighty oaks have seen throughout history and we feel very privileged to give them a new lease of life. That’s what makes it so special to me. Creating a piece which has such a natural value.

I can get lost for hours crafting an idea and not knowing where it will take me. When I then add a copper or metal section, the two forge together to create a truly organic feel, which just seems to perfectly fit in with the surroundings around me here.

Bringing such tactile pieces into a home, links you to the outdoors somehow and you can't help but feel what FUGA stands for…the ability to escape, create and renew.”
