Thomas Swallow
Furniture Designer & Maker
About
I fell in love with wood when I was just five years old, spending every spare moment in my grandfather’s workshop. He was a carpenter, and to me, that place felt magical. I’d help him whenever I could, and soon I started crafting my own little wooden boats, dreaming up new designs.
Years later, my passion took a new direction in Mexico, where I met a local artisan whose creativity and technique completely changed how I saw the craft. That experience inspired me to dedicate myself to furniture design and making. When I returned to Hungary, I began building furniture, eventually taking my work across the ocean to Florida. For over ten years now, I’ve been creating my own custom-designed pieces in my own studio. Every piece I make is an experiment in form, material, and technique.
