Alexander Devol is a designer, artist and maker who's work investigates the material properties of wood and their transferal into other materials. Alexander Devol uses a mix of traditional casting methods and new technologies to document the natural behavior and movement of the vessels he makes in 'green wood' while taking care to preserve the features he feels are aesthetically synonymous with the material's origin.

Alongside his artistic practice Alexander Devol lectures in design at the University of Central Lancashire and regularly collaborates with other artists and design studios globally. Alexander Alexander Devol has been making things his whole life but the materials he finds himself most at home with seem to always be wooden or woven. The creator of Wood + Woven, Alex works from studio in North West England where he handcrafts a wonderful selection of wooden pieces.

With a focus on a simple and honest approach to design and the aim of creating pieces where both aesthetics and utility are ingrained, Alex’s work brings new life and pleasure to the everyday. All pieces are hand made using traditional turning and carving techniques and all materials are locally grown, recycled or sourced from sustainable sources.
