British craftsmanship from the foot of The Black Mountains.

Since 2012 we’ve been proudly creating beautiful objects from our studio workshop in The Wye Valley near Hay-on-Wye.

Finding beauty in refinement we hope to design products that demonstrate an empathy and honesty to material, that our customers and their families will enjoy for generations.

Welcome to Barnby Design…

Where English craftsmanship meets timeless elegance to create heirloom-quality furniture. We are a design and manufacturing studio with a vision to bring classic English craft and understated luxury to the UK and beyond. Each piece is thoughtfully designed by our founder, Robert Barnby, and meticulously crafted by him and a handful of other dedicated expert furniture makers.

We take pride in our expanding network of creative collaborators, including interior designers and architects, and we are equally enthusiastic about working closely with individuals who seek unique and special pieces to enhance their homes.

Our guiding philosophy is straight forward: To create harmony in your home through the natural warmth and texture of timber. This approach ensures that each piece not only serves a functional purpose but also enriches your space with a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.
