Settle is part of Studioilse's Seating for Eating collective consisting of settles, benches, and stools. In part inspired by archetypal English vernacular furniture, which in its time was a practical stripped back solution to a social need, the designs are carefully detailed and reassuringly familiar. Furniture that you can sit on together, but that still leaves room for the individual.

Ilse Crawford is a designer, academic and creative director with a simple mission to put human needs and desires at the centre of all that she does. As founder of Studioilse, together with her multidisciplinary, London-based team, she brings her philosophy to life. This means creating environments where humans feel comfortable, public spaces that make people feel at home and homes that are habitable and make sense for the people who live in them. It means designing furniture and products that support and enhance human behaviour and actions in everyday life. It means restoring the human balance in brands and businesses that have lost their way.
“Crawford doesn’t have a signature style, but a signature feeling: emotional and deeply rooted to the place,” The New York Times.
Solid wood is an expression of the life of a tree, grown for at least 30 years, and the weather patterns it experienced, the absorption of sunshine and minerals. The tree is imbued with meaning, and this meaning is transferred to the piece of furniture it becomes.
Our planks are cut in a way that honours the growth rings and grain, making them clearly visible.
AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT
Our American black walnut is from the midwestern United States. This is a prized hardwood with luxuriously figurative grain patterns and great strength. The walnut tree is relatively small, and the dark heartwood is surrounded by sap wood that is blond in colour.
Our American black walnut timber is available in a choice of oil finishes.
Danish oiled walnut
Black oiled walnut
White oiled walnut
Our Danish oil, white oil, and black oil finishes provide a renewable surface for enduring beauty. Damage can be repaired with relative ease, as the timber can be reapplied with wax or oil at any moment.

AMERICAN WHITE OAK
Our American white oak is from the eastern coast of the United States. Oak has long been used in furniture due to its great density, outstanding durability and simple, understated beauty. Its durability is compounded by the fact that it contains tannin acid, which naturally prevents rotting.
Our American white oak timber is available in a choice of oil finishes, or an oxidised finish.

EUROPEAN ASH
Our European Ash is from Portugal, Spain and France. European Ash is a hardwood that has long been prized by cabinetmakers due to its versatility and simple beauty. This dense timber has a coarse yet even texture, compressive strength, and an appealing straight grain. It varies in colour from a cream to pale tan colour and accepts stains and coatings more readily than other timbers.
Our European ash timber is available in a choice of oil, painted, or stained finishes.

Copper is a beautiful metal that has long been used in art and architecture. It is has a reddish-orange colour which over time develops a green patina.
We coat our copper with Renaissance Wax which provides a barrier to slow ageing and oxidisation, while maintaining a natural appearance.
Our brushed copper is brushed to create an appealing surface texture before the application of wax.
