Trouble Studio
Founded in 2023 by British designer Matthew Coules, Trouble Studio is rooted in the belief that a little mischief and rule-breaking can spark creativity and deeper understanding.
Based in Oxfordshire, we design furniture and homeware for modern living—blending contemporary form with sustainable craftsmanship. Every piece highlights the quiet beauty of process and material, made in small batches with local, independent makers. We aim to reuse, reclaim, and repair wherever possible, treading lightly on the planet.
Matthew’s work reflects his rural Oxfordshire roots, a love of skate culture, and a background in joinery. Known for exploring materials and challenging norms, his designs are playful, considered, and human-focused. Welcome to Trouble Studio—where thoughtful design meets modern life.
