Thrilled to kick off the new year by introducing and welcoming Jonathan Field into the Teer & Co fold of Designer Makers. Initially, Jonathan joins us to support our management of bespoke commission work for interior designers, architects and private clients by showcasing and offering his unique style of furniture making.
Read MoreDelighted to kick off the new year by sharing a couple of new pieces we've introduced to the Collection, which can be customised to specific proportions or timber preferences if required.
The Auckland Cabinet combines a clean minimal outer case in fumed oak with large chamfers that lead into subtly textured ebonised slatted doors that slide across the opening giving flexible storage options.
The Kingslee Side Table (live edge), designed with an art-deco vibe, has bent laminated fumed oak legs with brass splines for strength. It incorporates a section of live edge, a nod to the natural form and material being used and a beautiful contrast to the defined and crafted base.
Read MoreIn 2022 we will further develop our offer and increase our support to interior designers and private clients.
Read MoreTime to say how grateful I am to everyone that’s played a part in making 2021 such a memorable year. I’ve learnt so much about what Teer & Co is offering, who we’re for and where we’re going.

Read MoreOur Scandi style solid timber TeeBeu Desk is now available in two sizes. The compact Standard size desk (shown in these photos), which is offered with our Sit-Stand Workstation or as a standalone Desk, measures up at W 85cm, D 60cm, H 68cm. Our new Large desk (see line drawing) is wider for those with that bit more space in their WFH lives, and measures W 120cm, D 60cm, H 68cm.
Read MoreYou may be aware of the 2D and 3D Wall Panels we offer through our online Shop that bring warmth, nature and wellbeing into residential and commercial spaces. The makers of these beautiful panels have been quietly working on a research and development project since 2020 to develop these panels and the acoustic properties of wood. So we’re thrilled to share this visual preview of how this development is taking shape.
Combining a modern, unique aesthetic with the ability to control the acoustics and improve the quality and comfort of your interior, the innovative new Acoustic Series will have the highest class of sound absorption and sound insulation, and the potential to revolutionise the acoustics market.
Read MoreIn July 2021 we were approached by interior designers Olivia Outred to make a custom version of the standard Conholt Desk in oak (shown above) for their private client in St John’s Wood, London.
So the custom project team comprised the interior designers Olivia Outred and their private client, and ourselves to coordinate the custom order with furniture designer-maker Tim Evershed.
Read MoreInteresting short film by CNN on Biophilic Design and 'how to bring nature into your home and feel better', especially for me noting Tip 4 (2.57 into the movie) and the use of natural materials.
Oliver Heath, who I met through his involvement in Planted at King’s Cross in September, reminds us of research on the use of timber and its ability to positively affect our physiological response to a space.
Read MoreWith our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation and wellbeing in our WFH lives at its core, we’re on a mission to stimulate ‘movement for your health’ as we cannot ignore the health risks associated with sedentary working and sitting down for prolonged periods.
So I was chuffed to discover this recent podcast Stand Up from the highly respected science presenter, journalist and executive producer Michael Mosley on sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting time and the importance of standing and movement for our health.
Read MoreTo our knowledge, TeeBeu is the first solid timber desk and stool design that combines to create an integrated sit-stand workstation. The clever-simplicity with our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation lies in the dual-purpose design of the adjustable-height stool, and its integration with the desk on which the stool is placed for stand-working. The manual transition from sitting to stand-working is simple, takes just seconds, stimulates added movement and is good exercise for varying posture throughout the day.
Read MoreWith COP26 in full swing, the heightened focus we are seeing and critical challenges we face on the climate crisis could not be clearer. In our personal and business lives we must play our part.
Our first own-brand product - the TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation - fully conforms with our Buy Well, Buy Less philosophy of encouraging people to invest in timeless, high quality, sustainably-sourced and responsibly made timber and soft furnishings that endure.

Read MoreTeeBeu is beautifully designed, skilfully handcrafted and made-to-order in the UK using sustainably-sourced FSC timbers. Offering a timeless, elegant Scandi style timber aesthetic unlike some metal/plastic sit-stand desks and chairs, TeeBeu will suit most home environments whether it is used in a study, hallway, open plan living space or garden studio. Compact in size and unintrusive in your home, TeeBeu can be used in areas where there is limited space.
Read MoreIn our research to inform the development of TeeBeu, we discovered that most standard desk and table heights that people work at in an office or at home are typically 73-75cm. This is an ideal height for people that are 6ft or more tall, whereas the average UK female is 5ft 3in and the average male is 5ft 9in tall. Our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation has been designed and considered for people around these average heights, and that use a laptop.
Read MoreTurning a blind eye to the real health risks associated with leading a sedentary WFH lifestyle is foolish.If on average you currently sit at a desk to work for 6-7 hours per day 5 days per week, that’s 30-35 hours of an average 40 hour working week spent sitting. And this excludes sitting time every evening and at weekends.
Designed for those that fundamentally want to move more frequently in their work from home lives, Teer & Co working in collaboration with experienced furniture designer and maker Mandie Beuzeval of Beuzeval Furniture has developed TeeBeu, an ergonomically considered functional sit-stand workstation that will stimulate increased movement when desk-working from home.
Read MoreAs we adapt to life with Covid-19, many of us will, for the foreseeable future, continue to work from home and lead a sedentary lifestyle. The home working environment is therefore going to have a dramatic impact on the health of the nation’s workers. The optimal solution to the health implications of leading a sedentary work from home lifestyle is to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the working day.

Read MoreFour fabulous days exhibiting at Planted alongside the super talented Sandy Buchanan come to an end. Thank you to everyone involved for organising what was a great event, it’s been a pleasure to play our part. We had some great conversations with the press, interior designers, architects and design-appreciative prospective customers from the general public who saw our Autumn-Winter collection of new handcrafted and made-to-order offerings, developed in collaboration with our trusted Designer-Makers.
Read MoreHere’s a very recent installation of our beautiful 3D Wall Panels in the home of a valued private client. Our wall panels were chosen and installed by our client to complete a media wall in their spacious living room. Based in South Yorkshire, our client chose the PYRAMID model from the 3D EDGE series in Natural stain colour to finish. Just under 6 square metres were required to cover the two wall areas either either side of the TV.
