Free Range Designs is a collective of woodworkers and craftspeople, founded by Paul Bullen, a South African born artist who found his way to furniture-making by accident. With a background in graphic design, Paul never had any formal woodworking training and learned his skills on the job with a flair of experimentation. This approach helped him to view furniture making as an art form and encouraged a new approach to design and making.

The name Free Range Designs symbolises our way of working, which is born of a desire to create without constraints and take a fresh approach to design and construction, with a prevailing can-do attitude.
