About

SUM FURNITURE

Sum Furniture Ltd is a collaborative, physical and online store dedicated to contemporary handcrafted furniture.

Its founder, Robert Moir, has spent 30+ years immersed in the world of design, furniture and antiques, with much of his career focused on twentieth century modernist furniture.

As the business evolved he sought to champion the art of contemporary handcrafted furniture making by creating a space for UK craftspeople, designers, and artists to showcase their work.

Today, Sum Furniture focuses on original UK based handcrafted design using traditional furniture making methods. The pieces are designed and selected for their quality, individuality, and authenticity. Many are one-of-a-kind works, bespoke commissions, or small-batch editions, produced with care and intention rather than through mass manufacture.

We are particularly drawn to furniture that expresses the hand of the maker; pieces that celebrate honest construction, quality materials, and thoughtful design. Visible joinery, sculptural forms, and carefully chosen timbers are valued not merely as decorative features but as integral elements of enduring craftsmanship.

Alongside our collection of contemporary handcrafted furniture, we continue to maintain a connection to twentieth century modernist design, offering selected vintage pieces and complementary home accessories that share our appreciation for originality, quality, and lasting relevance.

We also offer a comprehensive bespoke furniture design, build, and consultancy service. Working closely with clients to create custom pieces tailored to individual requirements, utilising traditional craftsmanship, fine materials, and bold original design. The result is furniture of substance and character, built not for trends, but to last for generations.

Traditional techniques. Modern design. Genuine craftsmanship.
