Furniture Maker (Hay-on-Wye, UK)

Founded by Robert Barnby, Barnby Design is based near Hay-on-Wye, where furniture is made slowly and deliberately, with a strong emphasis on proportion, joinery and material integrity. The studio produces tables, seating and cabinetry that feel grounded, honest and quietly confident.

Robert’s background in fine furniture making is evident in the precision of each piece, yet the work never feels overly formal. Instead, it balances refinement with approachability — furniture designed to be used, lived with and passed on.

Barnby Design speaks to the enduring appeal of well-made furniture, shaped by hand and guided by experience.
