The Furniture Makers’ Company is the City of London livery company and charity for the furnishing industry.

 

With more than 300 individual members and around 45 corporate members, The Furniture Makers’ Company is the only membership association in the UK furniture and furnishing industry that brings together people and companies from all sectors of the wider trade, including beds, fabrics, kitchens, carpets and floor coverings, for networking, fellowship and supporting our livery and charitable activities.

Excellence

As the furniture and furnishing industry’s preeminent organisation, we recognise excellence and the highest standards in British design and production through our coveted Guild Marks - the Bespoke Guild Mark, Design Guild Mark and Manufacturing Guild Mark.
