June 2020: The Covid 19 pandemic.

A global lockdown doesn't sound like the ideal time to start a furniture business however founder Nick Fisher had other ideas.

After graduating from Industrial Design at Bournemouth University in 2011 Nick went straight into the fast-paced world of Commercial Interior Design, leaving evenings and weekends to tinker with his passion for furniture. Nick thought it would stay that way until the pandemic offered him a unique opportunity to explore his true passion.

People were spending an unhealthy amount of time in their homes under more stress than ever, so Nick designed a small range of furniture in his garden workshop that embodied his values of simple, sustainable living and utilised 100% green reclaimed wood - S&B was born!

With Still and Bloom growing rapidly in the first few months, Nick’s wife Frankie quickly jumped on board to help with marketing and social media. Brother-in-law and architecture graduate Jack rapidly followed suit as support in the design team. We also have Jon, Nick’s dad, who helps with local deliveries and maintenance.

We are a family business at our core and as we’ve grown we’ve carefully built a skilled team of friendly and caring individuals – our Still and Bloom extended family! You get out what you put in, and by having such a talented and attentive team we’re able to produce skillfully crafted unique pieces, each made with love, consideration and care.
