Lloyd Brooke Anderson is a New Zealand-based artisan specializing in sustainable, handcrafted furniture. Initially drawn to music and songwriting, he later turned his focus to woodworking when his young family needed quality, durable furniture.
Starting with a small workshop in Melbourne, Lloyd embraced hand tools for their precision and connection to the craft. With support from his wife, Vanessa, he founded Lloyd Brooke Furniture, dedicated to creating unique, lasting pieces from premium timbers.
Now back in New Zealand, Lloyd oversees each stage of production, crafting furniture designed to endure for generations.
Llyod participated in the Centre for Fine Woodworking’s Emerging Tutor Mentoring Project generously funded by Creative NZ and now teaches short courses for the school.
