Wilkinson & Rivera Is Creating Classic Furniture With Extra Charm

Founded by the emerging British-American design duo of Grant Wilkinson and Teresa Rivera, Wilkinson & Rivera specialize in reimagined handmade wood furniture with a twist. Their contemporary signature collection takes classical forms that have become iconic and reworks them to include even more personality. Grant is the lead woodworker, while Teresa is a hound for inspiration, but all phases of design and production are spent in collaboration with one another. Each piece’s design relies on a mix of nostalgia and imagined visual reverberation, featuring hand-woven cane and locally sourced wood with an emphasis on the art and preservation of hand-craftsmanship. Between a home studio in East London and a shared workshop nearby, Wilkinson & Rivera make their love of designing furniture a reality that all of us can appreciate.
