About

OTZI and Grenson come together for a unique collaboration celebrating British craftsmanship and heritage. Hosted at Grenson’s Lamb’s Conduit Street store, this special exhibition showcases the synergy between fine furniture making and shoemaking, with a particular focus on materials, detailing and traditional techniques.

At the heart of the collaboration is a unique circular workshop stool, handcrafted by Otis Ingrams of OTZI. Inspired by classic workshop seating, the stool incorporates a distinctive shoe welt detail to include Grenson’s expertise in Goodyear-welted footwear. This fusion of leatherwork, woodcraft and time-honoured skills highlights the shared ethos of both brands: a commitment to quality, longevity and timeless design.

Founded by Otis Ingrams, OTZI is a British furniture brand dedicated to creating finely crafted, functional pieces using traditional techniques and high-quality materials. Working primarily with wood, leather and linen, OTZI’s designs emphasise craftsmanship, sustainability and a deep respect for natural materials. Each piece is made by hand, honouring the heritage of artisanal furniture making while embracing contemporary design.

Established in 1866, Grenson is one of Britain’s most esteemed shoemakers, known for its masterfully crafted Goodyear-welted footwear. With over 150 years of history, the brand continues to blend traditional shoemaking techniques with modern design, producing shoes that stand the test of time. Grenson’s commitment to craftsmanship and material excellence makes them a natural partner for this London Craft Week showcase.

Visitors to the exhibition have the chance to see the OTZI x Grenson stool alongside a curated selection of OTZI’s handcrafted furniture, displayed within Grenson’s collection of expertly made shoes. This is an opportunity to experience two brands united by a dedication to skilled making, quality materials and enduring design.
