Jeremy Broun
Jeremy Broun is a British woodworker, furniture designer maker, speaker, and writer.
Broun’s furniture is innovative in the use of technique and form. His Caterpillar Rocking chair
in 1984 ‘is visually stunning, a good combination of colour, structure and practicality… and has the advantage of being a truly original idea : just as Saarinen and his pedestal chairs converted four chairlegs into one’ (An Encyclopedia of Chairs - The Apple Press).
He won a Winston Churchill Travel Scholarship to Sweden, Finland and Italy in 1979 and in the same year was elected a Fellow of The Society of Designer Craftsmen, the original Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society founded by William Morris. Since 1980 he has been a member of the Crafts Council Index of Selected Makers. He has exhibited extensively including The Royal Society of Arts and the Ars Nova Museum in Finland.
His work was included in the ‘First Sale of Contemporary British Crafts’ at Sotheby’s in 1980 and in 2002 at the Centenary exhibition celebrating the Hill House designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
In 1989 he gained The Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers Ambrose Heal Award for his craft documentary films. He has written numerous articles on woodworking and design including “Furniture Today” and “A History of (Furniture) Designer Makers” in 2005.
