Steam bending is an antique process whereby wood fibres are steamed pliable enough to be stretched, contorted, and bent; when cooled the timber holds its beautiful new shape.

Steam bent wood products make beautiful and luxurious additions to any home.

The process of steam bending wood is at the heart of our company. Here at Steamed Studios, we specialise in manipulating and bending wood into various shapes using steam, which is called steam-bent wood. It’s an incredibly skilful form of labour, and because it’s done mainly by hand – apart from using jigs and a few other tools – each finished design is unique and bespoke. What’s great is that steam bending is a sustainable form of handcrafting because it uses low amounts of energy and produces minimal wastage. We love steam bending because we enjoy creating nature-inspired designs with meticulous attention to detail. The result is an exclusive piece of art that can be treasured for many years.
