We design and manufacture furniture and accessories of outstanding quality – useful and in harmony with the environment. Our current products are a manifestation of our principles and mission. They are what we build on to achieve our vision.

    Design


    We strive for clarity and simplicity of form and function.

    We are a design led company who are passionate about good design – our founders Ed Carpenter and André Klauser studied design at the Royal College of Art, London. We look to design history and acknowledge proven archetypes and aim to move them forward by evolution not revolution – our aim is to embrace familiarity without catering to nostalgia.

    Manufacture


    We understand we are only as good as our suppliers and our relationship with them.

    We take a hands-on approach – we work closely with makers, manufacturing methods and material suppliers and use this knowledge to inform and improve our products. We design and develop our products with our fabricators in mind – working to their strengths.

    Quality


    Great quality equals long-term value for our customers and our environment.

    Quality comes first – we don’t compromise on materials or manufacturing. Our products are designed and built to last. We manufactured responsibly in the UK and Europe with a carefully selected network of material suppliers and fabricators. Every order is assembled and checked in-house by VG&P before dispatch.

    Useful


    Common sense makes sense.

    We always aim to design and make beautiful, practical and useful products – first and foremost our products are designed to work for our customers. No matter how beautiful a chair is, if it isn’t comfortable, it has failed the first test in our minds. Likewise, materials should be fit for purpose and easy to live with and use.

    Environment


    Sustainability through longevity.

    We imbed sustainability in right from the beginning of the design process – a product that doesn’t break, doesn’t have to be replaced. A product that can be repaired doesn’t have to be recycled. Materials are precious resources, and our aim is to respect, celebrate and use them responsibly.

    Timeless


    Design against trend.

    Visual longevity, and excellence in design details – trends satisfy a quick visual gratification at the risk of building in obsolescence. Great products transcend trends and in our mission for sustainability through longevity we want our products to last.
