MATTHEW BURT FURNITURE
“Seemingly simple… Sculpturally sensual… Idiosyncratic… Highly cherished… “
A few phrases attributed to our work since we founded our company in 1977, and we are proud Matthew’s designs can be found in private homes, major museums, galleries, churches and public spaces throughout this country and beyond.
Furniture designed in Wiltshire and made in Wiltshire, from trees that have grown in, or as close to, Wiltshire as we can find.
“Matthew Burt’s sinuous furniture celebrates the quirks and curiosities of ‘maverick’ British trees”
Emma Park, The Financial Times House & Home, February 2025
“The commissioning process was a joy from beginning to end. Matthew came and spent the time needed to get a feel for what the room needed, both in terms of the style of the piece and the wood he would use. We were given a timetable of how the work would progress and when it would be delivered. Every stage was completed as promised and the work delivered on time and within budget.
“The result is a wonderful tiger oak chest of drawers, the design of which allows the wood to display its extraordinary qualities. It is a very modern piece of design and craftsmanship, which is rooted in a thorough knowledge of cabinet-making traditions. A piece which sits happily in an old house, creating within the room a conversation between the old and the new, on the timeless nature of well-crafted wood.”
