MooBoo Home is owned by Andy and Nic Bouchard, a husband-and-wife team and is based in the heart of the Devon countryside, within the grounds of Cockington Country Park. To the rear of the historic Cockington Court you will find a cluster of craft studios, and MooBoo Home can be found in the Stable Yard. They design and make on site, and visitors can watch them work and talk to them about their designs as well as view timbers and choose the perfect piece of reclaimed timber for their design. The showroom is ever changing, no two visits are the same, creations change weekly depending on the reclaimed timber available at time.
Andy and Nic are well known for their innovative designs and personal service, ensuring that each piece is made to the highest standard and fits the design brief perfectly.
MooBoo Home started under a gazebo in Andy and Nic's London flat in 2014 and has grown steadily ever since. From gazebo to shed, from London to Devon, from the garage to Cockington Court Craft Centre – it’s been quite the journey.
Shortly after opening their first Etsy shop, Handmade at Amazon was developed. Andy and Nic were asked, alongside 20 other handmade artisans, to be part of the launch event in London. Amazon sent a film crew to their flat and they were part of the initial promo videos for the Handmade section of the Amazon site. You can view the video here.
Andy and Nic are passionate about sustainability, reclamation, and energy efficiency. They design lighting and homewares that are forever fluid, changing with the raw materials that they have available, fluctuating with current styles and trends, responding to their clients wants and needs.

MooBoo source a lot of wood from timber recycling project’s, whose aim is to rescue, re-use and recycle tonnes of wood otherwise destined for landfill. They love old and historic timbers and try and find out as much as they can about their original use, the location and dates of the original build, which is shared with clients. The history of the timber is an important aspect of our business, and they can even place a small plaque on the fixture detailing is history.
Reclaimed or vintage materials are an intrinsic part of the MooBoo Home design ethos, but they don’t use second hand electrical components. The cables, lamp holders, switches and plugs are brand new and all come from reputable suppliers. All lamps and fixtures undergo end of line electrical testing and are UKCA certified before leaving the studio. MooBoo has a huge range of decorative and functional LED bulbs, and you can find a wide range in the studio and online.
