Liam Treanor

Liam Treanor, who is the owner and designer at his eponymous company, is a young designer from Greenwich, London. Treanor is a trained furniture maker, having studied cabinet and furniture making in Northampton, then furniture making at the University of Lincoln. After graduating from the University of Lincoln in 2011, Treanor moved to London to start his own business, Liam Treanor. Inspired by mid-century Scandinavian designers in particular, Treanor produces minimalist, functional designs. Often using oak or ash, he plays with the granular nature of the wood, applying differen toils to bring out, or dull, the colors. With the Interbau collection, he works with the visual nature of wood, exposing joints and favoring the use of wooden dowels. Treanor's products are all produced in the UK, and are made to last both structurally and aesthetically, not owning themselves to trends.
