maker study — alexander lamont

alexander lamont makes furniture the way some people make music — with rhythm, with repetition, with a devotion to material that borders on the spiritual. his workshop in thailand produces pieces that feel ancient and modern simultaneously. straw marquetry. shagreen. bronze casting. lacquer that takes weeks to cure.

this is a 28-page digital monograph on one of the 50+ lines in the de sousa hughes showroom. it covers: lamont’s philosophy and process, the materials he works with and how they’re sourced, the craft traditions his workshop preserves, and a curated selection of 10 pieces currently available through the showroom — each photographed in detail, each with notes on material, technique, and the story behind the piece.

it is the first in a series. it is for anyone who wants to understand a master maker before they specify their work.
