Crafted for Calm
There is a quiet pleasure in furniture that feels as though it truly belongs in the garden. Created in collaboration with the National Trust, this collection is designed to bring a sense of ease, heritage character and enduring comfort to outdoor spaces. Gentle movement, generous proportions and timeless detailing invite a slower pace of living - whether for morning coffee, an afternoon with a book, or a few unhurried moments at the end of the day.
Each piece is made to settle beautifully into its surroundings, complementing both formal and natural planting schemes with equal grace. The result is a garden seat that offers more than somewhere to sit: it creates a place to pause, reflect and enjoy the landscape.

Materials chosen to last
The National Trust Collection is made with materials chosen for their enduring beauty and lasting performance in the garden. Our oak seats are crafted from prime European oak, a timber valued for its strength, character and graceful weathering, while our painted designs are made from Accoya, selected for its exceptional durability and stability.
Handcrafted in the South West and built with marine-grade stainless steel fixings, each piece reflects a considered approach to British making. Designed to live outdoors year-round, these are garden seats made not for a season, but for the long term.
