After studying architecture, Jonathan began making handmade wooden items, leading to his company, Jonathan Lear Furniture. For 30 years he created bespoke fine furniture before returning to his passion: handcrafted wooden jewellery boxes. Cubi boxes are made with attention to detail, are aesthetically beautiful, feel tactile to hold, open and close perfectly and have environmental credentials.
