About Us
A commitment to British Craft and Manufacturing underpins the Derwent House philosophy:
‘to recognise the skill in the process of creating and making, and valuing the materials used’
DERWENT HOUSE is a classic and contemporary interiors store, our home which brings together carefully selected collections of British handcrafted sofas and armchairs, footstools, natural organic mattresses and beds, lighting, fabrics and home accessories. It is aimed at design-conscious customers looking to find beautiful and unique, handcrafted products for their home.
Derwent House is the perfect one stop interiors store for some of the best British home products, along with inspirational ideas, knowledge and good old-fashioned, personal service.
OUR APPROACH As consumers, we increasingly find ourselves asking ‘who made this, how was it made, where did it come from?’ Our approach at Derwent House is to reveal the stories behind the products and bring customers face to face with the makers and how their products have been made. In understanding the provenance of what we buy we can make informed decisions and choose to buy well. A beautifully designed, well-made piece will stand the test of time and find a permanent place in your home.
British makers are invited to Derwent House as partners, either by taking space within the store or participating in our pop-up maker showcases. This means that we are always welcoming in new makers and their products, keeping our displays fresh and interesting. Whilst we aim to keep our website updated with the new, it is always worth popping in to see what new pieces have just arrived in-store. As well as representing the work of makers we aim to develop collaborations between maker and customer where an individual piece can be commissioned as part of a bespoke project.
Our respect for products and materials challenges us to consider carefully how we reduce waste, reuse and recycle. In addition to our collective of British designers and craft makers, Derwent House also represents companies who are passionate about up-cycling carefully sourced furniture and unusual pieces to give them a new lease of life.
