Craig Bamford
Overview
Craig Bamford (SASA Works) runs an architectural practice in London combining design with a practical workshop, embedding his knowledge of traditional craftsmanship into contemporary sculptural objects, furniture and architectural spaces. Each work informs the next and leads to new discoveries about material, the elements and human interactions. Growing up in Kenya, near the Rift Valley, Craig was inspired by the native landscape and traditional village houses, handmade from local materials and built with future generations in mind - he was struck by the ever present co-existence of man and nature.
