Bodging is a craft that sees green unseasoned wood fashioned into furniture using traditional Windsor chair making techniques.

Chris Eckersley, Sarah Kay, William Warren, Gareth Neal, Carl Clerkin and the designer of Heal’s Koji collection, Koji Katsuragi will each take over the window for a week, beginning with Eckersley, who’s there now.

At the end the press and customers will choose a design to go into production and be sold exclusively at Heal’s.

Furniture design social enterprise Out of the Dark will be developing pieces from the Bodging Race and creating their own.

There’s also a chance to view and buy pieces by designers identified as rising stars by Crafts Council.
