About Tristan Titeux

Tristan was born in 1976 in Paddington, London, then spent the first 13 years in Belgium on the edge of a village close to nature. He lived in a beautiful house made of flint stone with two wood fires, no central heating, TV or fridge just one single cold tap in the kitchen. His dad spoke about wild plants on the radio for many years, and used to feed his family from wild mushrooms and plants in the wild, his garden, bees, goats, chickens. Tristan's time growing up with his dad in Belgium cemented his relationship with nature. Today Tristan lives in London and in 2011 decided to offer an eco friendly option to his fitted furniture clients. Tristan now feels it is his mission to carry on making use of what his dad taught him and do what he can to educate the World about the environmental injustices currently happening all over the World.
