The studio

Jamie Hart set up Forge Ahead in September 1994. Since then the work has been shown in a string of exhibitions, each leading to commissions here and abroad.

In August 1995 Liberty commissioned three ranges of beds to launch its new bed linen, installed in three of the Regent Street windows and across the shop floor. Every piece then, as now, designed and made by Jamie at Forge Ahead.
