ETHICAL, NATURAL, SUSTAINABLE FURNITUREWe're proud to say that at Maker&Son, we produce 100% natural furniture. Handmade in the UK, Australia and the USA.Each piece is handmade to a very high specification including: sustainably sourced hardwood frame (guaranteed for 30 years), a handmade sprung base, wool and cotton padding, natural latex, ethically sourced feathers, jute webbing and stainless steel zips. All of this stitched together by hand with cotton thread and buttons. No Velcro, no plastics, nothing but natural materials.Our upholstered furniture comes with loose covers meaning that our customers can clean them whenever they want, lengthening the life of the piece. What's more, customers can order more than one set of covers, so they can update the look, instead of the whole piece of furniture. And yes, we are happy to make covers in any suitable upholstery fabric that you would like to specify.DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLYThe past few decades have seen the world of furniture become fashion led, with a race to creating ever cheaper products in both the contract and retail markets. The result is that most upholstered furniture is made from plastics, foam, ply and soft wood, stapled together. These materials and constructions don't last and don't do the environment any favours – over 600,000 tonnes of furniture ended up in UK landfill last year…Clients across all areas of the contract market are increasingly aware of these issues. The hugely positive reaction we are having to our Maker&Son range across the contract market is testament to this awareness and commitment to doing things differently.We take a totally different approach to designing and making our furniture. We take our time to get every detail perfect and a lifetime of developing furniture to reach the point where we felt ready to launch this range. We believe in products and design that will last, and a build quality that ensures our customers love our furniture for decades.
