About Andrew Crace

My furniture designs sprung from a desire to find attractive and comfortable seating for my own garden. Twenty years ago there was almost no attractive garden furniture, and comfort had not been included in any manufacturers specification. My designs started with the Chinoiserie, Edo, Windsor and traditional Slatted Collections launched in 1982 and shown at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1983. These original designs have grown to over 160 pieces of furniture, all in exciting designs, sure to be a source of inspiration in your garden. All my furniture is made here in Much Hadham in my own workshop. If you would like more information on the garden furniture please contact me.

The inspiration for The Bronze collection arose from the number of clients visiting my garden who wanted to purchase some of the ornaments in the garden in addition to the furniture they had come to view. At first I would tell them that the pieces were not for sale - but after 50 or so requests it would have been folly not to have produced some for sale. The bronzes are now made in Thailand where i cast the majority of the items, with additional items being sourced other specialist foundries. There are well over 200 bronzes in the catalogue, and there are always more on display here in Much Hadham. Prices start at below £10 for a mouse or sparrow, so there is something for the smallest of gardens or for a present.
