Ed Alves is a local furniture maker with 30 years of experience. He apprenticed and worked in New York City before spending 10 years working with students and commercial partners developing products and designs at London Met University. He now runs Ed Alves Furniture from his workshop in Walthamstow. Japanese woodworking allows him the opportunity to step away from large projects and loud machines and work in a simpler, slower way.
