Meet the Maker

Ben Simpson discovered his love of woodworking early, inspired by his father’s craftsmanship. After studying Art, Design Technology, and Business, Ben set out to turn his hobby into a business. Teaming up with long-time friend Luke Kiernan, who brought expertise in product design and market knowledge, they built a company that values sustainability at its core.

"Sustainability isn’t an afterthought – it’s how we design, build, and live every day."

Materials

Ben Simpson Furniture uses only the highest quality, sustainably sourced timber, including FSC and PEFC certified wood. Every tree used is replaced with ten new ones through their partnership with One Tree Planted. Natural materials like solid wood, seagrass, reed grass, and water hyacinth are thoughtfully selected to ensure longevity and minimal environmental impact.

People and Production

Each piece is handmade in West Sussex, combining traditional woodworking skills with modern design. By working closely with local suppliers and metalworkers, Ben Simpson Furniture ensures the highest quality while keeping the carbon footprint low. Every product is made to order, reducing overproduction and stock waste.

Packaging

All packaging is 100% plastic-free and made with recycled, recyclable cardboard. The packaging is designed to be protective yet sustainable, reflecting the brand’s ethos of careful, conscious production from start to finish.
