Configure it to your floor plan. Solid walnut base, boucle upholstery, and a silhouette that works in an open-plan loft or a terraced living room.

living in.
We bring together modern design and traditional craftsmanship — furniture chosen for how it changes a room, and how long it stays.
Explore CollectionsTwo traditions. One considered home.
Whether your taste runs to the spare lines of Bauhaus or the carved detail of Georgian joinery, Modern Furnitures curates both — with equal rigour.
Contemporary
Modern Furniture
Dining
Travertine Oval Table
Book-matched travertine on a brushed-steel base. Heavy, permanent, and more interesting the longer you live with it.
Storage
Wall Shelving System
Adjustable solid-oak shelves on a blackened-steel rail. Adaptable as your collection grows — nothing needs drilling twice.
Heritage Craft
Traditional Furniture
Dining
Georgian Mahogany Sideboard
Cross-banded veneer, hand-cut dovetails, and drop-ring brass hardware. A piece that improves with every decade of use.
Living
Chesterfield Sofa
Hand-stitched button-tufting in full-grain leather, coil-sprung seat, and kiln-dried hardwood frame. The definitive English sofa form, unchanged since the 18th century.
Bedroom
Carved Oak Four-Poster
Hand-turned posts, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and a linen canopy. Built by a single craftsman over six weeks — a piece that outlasts its owner.
What We Work With
Materials that age well
◆
Solid Hardwoods
Oak, walnut, mahogany, and ash — specified by species, grade, and cut for each application.
◆
Natural Stone
Travertine, marble, and limestone surfaces sourced from European quarries, each slab unique.
◆
Full-Grain Leather
Vegetable-tanned hides from tanneries in Somerset and Tuscany. Improves visibly with use.
◆
Performance Fabrics
Bouclé, linen, and recycled wool weaves — durable enough for daily life, refined enough for any room.

Our Approach
Why Modern Furnitures
Curated by Room
Every piece is assessed in the context of a complete room — not as an isolated object. We reject pieces that don't work in conversation with others.
Maker Transparency
Each listing names the workshop, the craftsperson, and the country of production. No anonymised supply chains.
10-Year Guarantee
Every structural component is guaranteed for a decade. We repair, refinish, or replace — whichever restores the piece to original standard.
Interior Consultation
Free one-hour consultation with a qualified interior adviser for orders over £2,000. Floor plans and mood boards included.
