Shaw Jones Furniture Maker is a design-led, craft-driven studio founded by Rowan Shaw-Jones, based in coastal New England. The practice focuses on original furniture and objects, grounded in a deep reverence for wood and a sustained commitment to workmanship.
Trained in studios and high-end fabrication shops on both coasts and later earning a degree in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, Rowan has been designing and making for over a decade. Although a furniture maker at heart, he has also worked as a timber framer, boat builder, metal worker, and commercial fisherman. His wide-ranging experiences of work, play, and travel continually inform the way he moves through the world as a designer and maker.
In addition to original studio work, Rowan collaborates with designers, architects, and private clients on custom commissions where the studio’s design language and values align.
