Holmbury Hill Soundtrack by Graham Dowdall.

Converse

By Matthew Burt

Furniture designer Matthew Burt is inspired by the material of wood itself and the many different home grown tree species he works with. Matthew come sweet chestnut for Converse, a species which readily grows in the Hurtwood. These beautifully crafted benches are placed in an arrangement that allows for social conversation and picnics as well as facing out to the inspiring view at this lesser trodden spot at Holmbury Hill.
