After training and working as a furniture designer during the 90's, and then career-drifting into the IT software industry, I started The Things From Trees in 2022 to return to what I love doing the most... making things.

Applying a thoughtful, considered approach to the design of every product, The Things From Trees reflect my love of simplified form and line, as well as the honest use of materials. I hope you get as much enjoyment owning or gifting these objects, made from trees, as I do creating them. Matthew Binns
The Things From Trees offer modernist and mid-century inspired gifts and ornaments for the home and garden. Each piece is crafted in my south London workshop, which is actually the shed at the bottom of the garden! It’s fascinating to think about what we get from trees, as many beautiful things, like these ornaments, are made from trees.
