Simon always returns to the sea somehow, ever since he watched the Indian Ocean from the beaches of East Africa twenty years ago. On his return to the UK from Africa he learned to sail, and progressed to working as a professional yachtsman for several years. He continued to race yachts every weekend in the Solent even as he studied for a degree in Semitic Languages in London. Having finished university, he finally set upon the course that has carried him through until today, very recently graduating with a Master of FIne Arts in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, and founding Simon Furniture Design. Nine years ago, he started working as a builder’s labourer, digging holes and mixing cement. Then he began taking on some carpentry work. He learned on the job. He gutted and refitted the boat that he was living on, then another. Other people needed work doing on their boats and houses, and very soon he had a small carpentry business. Restless as ever though, he packed up one day and headed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. In Antigua he worked for four years at Chippy Fine Yacht Woodwork. During this time, as well as a summer in Palma, Mallorca and another in Newport RI, he had the opportunity and privilege to work on very many of the world’s most prestigious superyachts.
