My Background
Safia Noon
From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the interplay of nature and culture—how each offers inspiration that can be distilled into a detail, a suggestion of themselves within a larger design. This passion has shaped my approach to furniture making, where every piece tells a story rooted in these influences. Every design I create is one-of-a-kind, born from a thoughtful fusion of my client’s identity, my decade of experience in the design industry, and an unwavering commitment to quality and functionality. From my workshop, nestled in two acres of serene, mature gardens in Cornwall, I design and craft bespoke furniture with care and precision. Each piece is a labour of love, created in my home to enrich yours. Sustainability and respect for nature are at the heart of my practice. I work with locally sourced, FSC-certified wood and employ techniques that honour both traditional craftsmanship and modern demands. My ethos reflects my ideals in both life and business, and I am always delighted to discuss the heritage of the materials I use or the construction methods I employ to make your bespoke piece truly special. With every commission, my goal is to create furniture that is not only functional but also a lasting testament to the harmony of nature, culture, and artistry.



2012
2012 was a pivotal moment for me, I knew I loved creating, learning and the art of woodworking but this year I started my journey combining all three in the beautiful location of Cornwall. My studies in Falmouth taught me so much and gave me the opportunity to expand and explore my own styles and skills.
2015
Straight out of University, and for the next nine years I've had a career in the Design industry. I've worked as a Furniture Team leader and workshop Manager and eventually became a Design Coordinator for one of the UK's leading wooden furniture and lighting manufacturers. I have won awards in cabinet making, and worked on projects with the likes of Selfridges, Chelsea Flower Show, Colicci, and other high-profile names and businesses along the way.
2024
ATELIER SAFIA was launched in 2024 with a need to express and flex my creative and making muscles. I want to bring all of the passion of my craft, culture and experience and share my fascination with wood with every client along the journey.
