honest

furniture made with integrity (Yorkshire, UK)

Founded by furniture maker John Green, “honest” is rooted in a belief that good design begins with good intentions. Working from their Yorkshire workshop, this team of three creates solid wood furniture that prioritises clarity, proportion and longevity over decoration or excess.

Each piece is made by hand using traditional joinery and carefully selected timbers, allowing the material to speak for itself. The designs are quiet, functional and enduring — furniture intended to support daily life rather than dominate it.

The “OTIS” range represents John Green’s vision to create timeless classics through an earnest and resourceful approach to design. O T I S stands as an acronym for 'Off The Industry Shelf', steming from the use of standard size components and tooling for its construction.

Honest Furniture reflects a deeply held respect for craft, where restraint, skill and material understanding define true quality.
