30 years of making houses into homes

We believe the best homes are built slowly, lived in fully and enjoyed for generations. That's why we believe good design should last a lifetime. But what does that really mean? Is it exceptional craftsmanship? Honest materials? Timeless design? For us, it's all of these. 

It's why we choose natural materials that develop character with age. Why we back our furniture and kitchen collections with a lifetime guarantee. Why we restore and renew pieces rather than replace them. And why we create homes that feel as relevant in ten years as they do today.

“From the beginning, I knew that if we were going to make furniture that would last a lifetime, we had to make the right choices in materials, design, and craftsmanship.”
—John Sims Hilditch, Co-founder

Our Story

It all started with a hammock. Back in 1996, friends John Sims-Hilditch and Giles Redman began crafting simple, well-made pieces for the home, guided by a belief that everyday living deserves better design. That belief still guides everything we do today, creating homes that are built to last, and designed to grow better with time.
