The Forgotten History of British Workshops

The story of Britain’s small workshops is the story of its industrial heart. They built furniture, ironwork, and textiles that lasted centuries. Sadly, much of that heritage was lost during the move to overseas manufacturing. The good news? Independent makers and designers are bringing them back. Our own workshop-inspired collections show how rattan armchair dining can feel modern again. Small-batch production means better quality and a lower carbon footprint.

Supporting British Furniture Company UK workshops means more apprenticeships and local jobs. Choosing retro furniture helps cut waste and adds character to your space. Check out our ranges of neon sign signs and join the craft revival.
