At Chairmaker our workshop is divided into 3 depar

At Chairmaker our workshop is divided into 3 departments. The wood shop, the polishing shop and the upholstery shop. Each department is crewed by our incredibly talented staff who make everything you see posted here or on our site.
Our woodshop don't just make chairs and sofas they make stunning hand made tables and other solid wood joinery.

This table is typical of the simplicity of beautiful things. No fuss just a solid table made from single full length planks jointed together, it has a solid base and wonderful tapered legs.

This one is 180cmx90cm and is made in solid Walnut. With a satin clear Lacquer finish. Each table is made to order in either Walnut, Utile, English Ash (my favorite) or Beech. We can finish in Lacquer or Oil.

Made by us in Britain, no shortcuts..

The new Morgan wing chair.. Morgan is not your ty

The new Morgan wing chair..

Morgan is not your typical wing chair. Who said wing chairs are for people of a certain age (like me) and should be boring and covered in flowery fabrics!

Morgan is not like that, Morgan is a wing chair yes but is modern with beautiful curves and sharp lines. The amazing back shape gives great comfort. Featuring a fully upholstered seat and rib back over a proper 'Chairmaker' solid Beech frame.

Cover is any fabric you like, this one is a wonderful soft wool. As always our chairs are made in our Sussex factory from start to finish. You are welcome to visit.

Suitable for domestic or commercial use. Drop us a message for a quote.

The Braveheart sofa. I am often asked why we have

The Braveheart sofa.
I am often asked why we have so many versions of what appears to be the same model. Well it's all about what's under the fabric. We do indeed have our hotel, classic, trad and even natural builds. All are different under the skin. It's a bit like a car where you can have the basic model which is the same shell as the deluxe model but it may have a smaller engine and cheaper seats and no fairy lights.

Having said that I am proud of all our builds and I am confident that our 'Hotel' build will outlast anything on the high street. This sofa is our Braveheart sofa, it's inspired by the classic British Howard style that remains the most popular style in the UK. This one in our 'Hotel' build is an incredible sofa, yes we designed it for the Hotel industry but it's just as happy at home and it will put up with an army of kids jumping on it, you will not break it. It has a full Beech frame and heavy duty everything. All the fillings are best in class and while we do use foams they are the top grade and meet the highest commercial fire regs.

All our sofas are designed to be recovered when the fabric wears out, which is good for the planet, saving you money and preventing another sofa from ending up in landfill.

The sofa in the image is a proper 3 seater sofa just over 2mts wide, we base a seat width on 600mm, some so-called 3 seater sofas have as little as 425mm per seat.

The normal retail price for this sofa is £2700inc/vat plus 14 meters of fabric. For the month of Feb we are offering the first 10 customers who place an order a massive 20% discount on the build. The orders taken this month will be batch built by us in Britain in March ready for delivery in April. You can even come to the factory and see your sofa being made.

This is your chance to own a fantastic British built 'Chairmaker' sofa at a special price. We can help you choose fabric and organize delivery anywhere in the UK. Just drop us a message and we will get back to you with all the ordering info. Other sizes are available in the same deal.

Chairmaker Mission Bench The Mission Bench is a q

Chairmaker Mission Bench

The Mission Bench is a quietly confident piece, playful at the end of a bed in leopard-skin fabric, yet just as comfortable taking centre stage in a sitting room. Clean lines and beautifully proportioned timber give it a strong architectural presence, while the deeply upholstered seat makes it genuinely inviting to use.

The optional sliding drinks and work plate adds another layer of versatility, offering the perfect place for a book, a laptop, or a well earned glass of something good.

Every Mission Bench is made to order in our English workshop and built to your exact requirements. Length, width and height can all be adjusted, allowing it to work as anything from a dining bench or window seat to a generous footstool in front of the sofa.

Like all Chairmaker pieces, it is built around a proper handmade hardwood frame. Beech is our standard show wood, with Ash, Oak and Utile also available. Upholstered in any fabric or leather you choose, yours or ours. The Chairmaker Original build ensures it looks right, feels right, and lasts for decades in both domestic and commercial settings.

Made to order in England, by us, no shortcuts.

Randall is pure mid-century loveliness.
Originally taken from an antique we had in for renovation, this chair is a real stunner.

Every part of the timber frame is show wood, meticulously crafted by the Chairmaker team here in England — from the swept arms to the beautifully resolved legs and rails. The image shown features the optional solid Walnut frame, whose depth of colour and grain is simply glorious.

Cushion internals are fully bespoke, but the chair pictured is fitted with our exceptional English woolpack cushions, made in-house using traditional methods for comfort, longevity, and that unmistakable Chairmaker sit.

A sculptural, honest, beautifully made chair — designed to be admired from every angle.

This elegant Chairmaker Gainsborough chair is a st

This elegant Chairmaker Gainsborough chair is a study in proportion, restraint, and traditional craftsmanship. Upholstered in leather or fabric it is a true British classic as popular today as it was 50 years ago. It has always been a favorite in the old gentleman's clubs of London or hotel bars but its just as happy in the home.

The gently shaped back offers comfortable support while maintaining a clean, unbuttoned appearance, giving the chair a calm, architectural presence. Slim, upholstered arms flow into beautifully finished solid wood supports, subtly revealing the quality of the frame beneath.

A generous fixed seat creates a grounded, reassuring feel, while the polished timber legs and stretchers add contrast and refinement. The overall effect is timeless and versatile.

Built using traditional upholstery techniques and a solid hardwood frame, this chair is designed to age gracefully and improve with use, making it a piece to be enjoyed for many years.

Available to order in alternative leathers, fabrics, and wood finishes.
