Rimmington-Bridges Co. — York, UK
A handcrafted drawing board built to the standard of a fine instrument.
Made in Yorkshire. Made to last.
Most drawing boards are forgettable. Cheap, functional, and designed to be replaced. The Rimmington-Bridges drawing board is built on a different premise entirely.
A smooth maple working surface. Solid sapele sides with ribbon grain. Deep gloss lacquer on sapele veneer. White instrument-style binding running the full perimeter. Every edge shaped and finished by hand in a small Yorkshire workshop.
This is a working surface that earns its place on the desk — and stays there for years.
Rimmington-Bridges Co. was founded by Thomas Rimmington-Bridges — portrait artist, musician, and maker — with a single aim: to build studio objects that people genuinely want to own.
The drawing board is the first piece. Shaped, finished, and polished by hand in a small Yorkshire workshop, it is part of a longer project to bring real craft standards to the home studio and home office.
Every board in the Founder’s First Batch is built individually and signed off before dispatch.
