Craftsman and former physicist Marcus Jacka, founded Non-Standard to “create innovative contemporary designs that are handcrafted, using traditional methods.”

Marcus personally creates each piece in Non-Standard’s workshop which is set in an inspiringly beautiful valley on the edge of the North York Moors. Every Non-Standard item is brought to life from individually sourced wood, imbued with the unique characteristics of both wood and craftsman. “There is a purity of geometry and spare lightness to Non-Standard designs, distinguishably balanced, simultaneously contemporary and quietly timeless.”
