The Secret Garden, Grand Designs Live
“A design service that’s truly tailored to you and your requirements.” - Gina Everett, Interior Designer
“Our room set was inspired by The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a book that captures the modern day desire to escape. We wanted to create a space that would inspire others to use natural materials and reclaimed or handmade products where possible, mixing these with new pieces from Heal's collections.”

Sustainable design
A major driving force for Tom Raffield is sustainability. As steam bending requires relatively little energy and creates minimal waste product, it?s the perfect technique for this eco-minded design house. Sustainability is the bedrock for the entire business and is considered down to the materials it uses. Timber is FSC-certified and sourced from responsibly managed forests that Tom Raffield has thoroughly vetted beforehand.
The shape of things to come
By creating commercially available, handcrafted designs, Tom Raffield is forging a new future for design. This future is a world where throwaway culture is a distant memory and sustainable materials are front and centre in our homes. To achieve this, Tom Raffield works with suppliers whose eco-ethics align with its own, collaborates with forward-thinking brands and designs with the extraordinary in mind.
