Our Story So Far...
Hemming and Wills was created for design-conscious people building a home with intention, who want furniture that lasts in quality and in style. We stand against fast furniture and passing fads, choosing instead to create and curate pieces built to endure in build and in design.
The brand was founded by Chris after years of frustration with the sameness of online and high street furniture and the lack of truly design led, lasting pieces. With experience in ecommerce, retail, and customer service, and a lifelong passion for interiors, he set out to build an independent home brand that offered something different. Contemporary furniture with character, crafted from quality materials and chosen with care, paired with a real human customer experience. Sustainability and giving back were built in from day one.
From the beginning, Hemming and Wills has been shaped by a simple idea: buying furniture should feel considered yet exciting. We curate and create collections that balance timeless design with modern expression, focusing on natural materials and thoughtful proportions. Pieces that grow more meaningful the longer they live in your home.
From first browse to final delivery, the experience should feel straightforward and personal. You will find real people at the other end, ready to help with questions or the occasional curveball. No scripts, just thoughtful support when you need it.
Sustainability for us is a way of working. By prioritising durability and responsible sourcing, we encourage a slower approach to buying. Many of our ranges use FSC-certified, reclaimed or responsibly sourced wood. Through Ecologi, we support environmental and climate initiatives in the UK and globally, from habitat restoration to reforestation.
Above all, we believe great furniture earns its place and should leave a positive mark. The table that gathers friends. The chair everyone fights over. The piece that still feels right years later. We design and select furniture not just to look good on arrival, but to become part of everyday life and the memories that come with it.
