Robert Brain takes pride in where he sources his timber. Rather than purchase wood from a traditional timber yard, the founder of RHMB creates bespoke furniture using locally sourced wood that comes from felled trees along the streets and parks of London, which is where his workshop is based.

For the Hobbes Sideboard, Brain uses lacewood, known for having grains in a lace-like pattern. Each sideboard is made with hand-cut dovetailed drawers and finished with brass hardware.

The sideboard is customizable and can be created using different wood and finishes and at different dimensions.
