Scotland’s Method studio branches out with a furniture collection rooted in nature.
Architect Marisa Giannasi and furniture maker Callum Robinson, the duo at the helm of Scotland’s Method studio, are known for their exquisitely crafted, often complex creations. For the last ten years, they have worked on bespoke projects including furniture for an Aesop store in Edinburgh, a new chair for the Glasgow School of Art, and trunks and chests for Burberry, Bentley and Vacheron Constantin. The travel trunk, in particular, is a recurring element in their work: the pair share a passion for luggage and travel and founded their studio after jaunts across South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and an extended stay in Tasmania.
But this wanderlust is balanced by the couple’s rootedness in Scotland. Their workshop is located in a restored timber sawmill on the Bathgate Hills, near Linlithgow. The remote, wooded location (though within commuting distance of both Glasgow and Edinburgh) has shaped their practice. ‘This location is a formative part of everything we do: right next to the water and near a huge woodland,’ says Robinson. For the first few years, he explains, meetings meant walking a six-mile loop along the coast and through the woods, discussing business among the wilderness. ‘It’s always challenging to start new things, so being in that tranquil environment definitely helped us.’
