John
Dibble's
Lancashire
based
company
"Where
The Wild
Things
Are"
produces
unique
furniture
from
reclaimed
wood.
The company was formed in 1999 by John Dibble and Karen Akroyd to create sensual objects often exploring the connection between form and function.

beach in
front of
John's
home on
the
North
West
coast of
England
provides
him with
a never
ending
supply
of
beautiful
driftwood.
Armed
with
basic
woodworking
skills
from his
school
days,
John
developed
his
technique
through
trial
and
error.
The
design
of the
furniture
is very
much led
by the
size,
shape
and
texture
of the
reclaimed
wood,
but John
is also
inspired
by
natural
forms,
colour,
texture
and even
movement.
