Growing up in Manchester England, Ben spent weekends playing lacrosse, riding bikes (through the rain) and playing hide and seek in old Victorian houses. A fairly ordinary boyhood life - except that he loved design even back then. He loved sitting in 'the good room' on that amazing classic cream sofa, climbing on the Guy Rogers teak armchair, he loved the way his dining table extended so effortlessly so more friends could eat at the table.
He loved his home and the possessions in it that made it his home. It was the beginning of his lifelong love of well designed and made furniture. When Ben moved to Australia in the mid-1990's working as a geologist, he spent his weekends off "in the shed" feeding his passion to create furniture that was both practical and unique.
Eventually he decided to follow his heart and explore his lifelong love of making furniture. He attended the Australian School of Fine Wood to expand his wood-working skills and provide the foundation for building his own business.

Services
Squarepeg home handcrafts a range of cabinets designed with our signature simple aesthetic. They are perfect for everyday use and offer stylish storage options as well as sitting pretty in your room. Shown below are some of our range of cabinets. Of course you can choose which timber you would like and also choose from a range of options for handles, shelving and doors (see below).
You'll love our tables. You'll want to run your hands over them, sit and be together at our tables, or just read the newspaper at them on a Sunday morning. They are simple and graceful and can be matched with new chairs or old. Or both. In our current handcrafted range we offer a choice of three styles.
Our handcrafted beds are classic in their design and simplicity. With an upholstered bedhead adding a touch of luxury, our beds will sit elegantly in any bedroom. We know you want a bed that will last you a lifetime, won't go out of style and is not too fussy. This is the one for you. Available in single, queen or king size (or made to custom size).
We love what we do. We get to design and create beautiful furniture for a lifetime of use and love in people's houses. What we have shown you from the workshop are the pieces that we enjoy making and feel work well in both design and functionality. However, our experience has also shown us that sometimes you might want to bring a bit of your own style to the piece (after all, we know there is a little bit of a designer in everyone right?!).
I don't think it's because its been lovingly handcrafted using solid Tasmanian oak timber (and finished with an outside oil). I don't think its because we've used a fun and bright nautical rope perfect for outdoor use. And I don't even think its because we can individually stamp each one with personal names.
