British furniture brand – Case Furniture – has its very own showroom in South London’s Clapham area. The showroom is the only place in the UK to showcase the entire Case collection of good quality, well-priced designs.

CASE FURNITURE

189 Stonhouse Street, London SW4 6BB (020 7622 3506)

Case was established in 2006 with the mission to keep good accessible design alive. Rather than creating furniture to shout about, they make furniture with which people will actually want to live, favouring woods and gently contemporary forms.

Case works with a number of leading designers including Shin Azumi, Marina Bautier, Matthew Hilton, Bethan Gray, Nazanin Kamali, Sam Wilkinson, William Warren and the late Robin Day.

The showroom is open on weekdays only, from 9am-6pm.

One of Japan’s most celebrated furniture manufacturers, Maruni, is now available for the first time in the UK exclusively through Viaduct, in London’s Clerkenwell.

Maruni Wood Industry was founded in 1928 in Hiroshima. Their slogan “Industrialising Craftwork” sums up their ability to create great works of craft using the industrialised methods of production.

Maruni is a well-established company in Japan, with its own factory and several showrooms in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Hiroshima. 

Since 2004, the company has been building on its reputation as a master wood manufacturer by introducing international designers including Naoto Fukasawa (images of Hiroshima table and dining chairs), Jasper Morrison, Harri Koskinen, SANAA architects, Shin Azumi, Tomoko Azumi, amongst others.
