Welcome to the Devon Furniture Makers Website

The Devon Furniture Makers Association was formed to promote the work of professional furniture makers operating throughout the county. All are self-employed and work largely on their own designing and making furniture to the highest standards.

Their work is primarily to commission for both private and corporate clients and covers the whole range of domestic furniture. Typically, they will create bespoke one-off items of furniture or small batches of exclusive designs. Commissions come from every part of the country - and some come from abroad - although a large percentage of the work is for local clients.

Items are made from both native and imported hardwoods and care is taken to ensure these originate from legitimate and sustainable sources. Indeed, if at all possible makers like to use the beautiful timber grown here in Devon.
