Chamber Furniture

Chamber Furniture has been designing, making and installing handmade kitchens and bespoke furniture for the last 25 years. In that time, this small family-run business has grown into a mid-size player on a national scale with a reputation for combining time-honoured joinery techniques with the latest technology to produce custom-built furniture that is both millimetre-precise and strong enough to last a lifetime.

The company now employs more than 40 people at its purpose-built factory and showroom in Kent (just 35 minutes from central London) and it is these talented individuals who make Chamber Furniture so special. Designers are happy to take time to discuss any project or idea, no matter what stage a client is at in the planning process. The team believes that a professional overview can offer a different perspective on all kinds of issues, whether it’s taking down a wall, re-modelling an existing space or simply repositioning a door or relocating a boiler. Over 90 per cent of the company’s business comes from previous customers, recommendations and referrals – and very often a project that begins as one room goes on to encompass other spaces in the house, too.

Using the latest CAD software, the team creates realistic digital mock-ups so clients have a precise vision of the end product. The approach is both collaborative and unpressured so clients can proceed at their own pace, ensuring the result is absolutely right for them. Careful consideration is given to every element of a project, from the correct proportions and best materials to handles, hinges, and closure mechanisms. This level of attention to detail is the common thread that runs throughout a commission of any size, whether the client is a collaborating property developer, architect, or individual.

Each piece of furniture is made entirely in-house so the team can achieve the levels of workmanship, fit and finish that clients expect. There are no standard sizes or ranges as the company believes this can be restrictive. Whatever each individual chooses – whether traditional or modern, ornate or minimalist – Chamber Furniture selects only the highest-grade timbers to minimise subtle grain differences for a consistent yet harmonious look. All timber is sustainably sourced, with any waste going to heat the factory rather than landfill.

From painting and staining to lacquers, French polishing and burnishing, all the finishing is also undertaken in-house. Finally, all kitchens and furniture are fitted by the company’s own installers (assisted where required by trusted subcontractors). This means they remain in complete control throughout, to ensure every element is fitted and finished to the highest standards.

The company’s simple philosophy is that having furniture custom built should be a joy from start to finish. Each client can be assured they are getting more than just beautiful, oneof-a-kind results: they are dealing with people who care as much about each project as they do themselves. That’s what makes this company and its furniture so unique.
