Long before flat-pack took over, Britain’s economy thrived on skilled craftspeople turning out high-quality goods in small batches. Today, many workshops are gone, replaced by offshore mass production. The good news? Independent makers and designers are bringing them back. From antique furniture London to custom workshop builds, the movement is growing. Even lighting gets the treatment – think handmade neon sign signs designed for homes, bars, and offices.

Supporting British Furniture Company workshops means more apprenticeships and local jobs. Choosing retro furniture helps cut waste and adds character to your space. Visit us to explore collections of reclaimed furniture that celebrate Britain’s workshop heritage.
