Timeless elegance is at the heart of every piece of Norfolk Oak furniture, and it doesn't happen by accident. Working with, and understanding, hand selected timber is just the start of the collaborative process from designer to craftsman.
Having started making worktops from furniture grade timbers, it became a natural extension of our business to start making the most beautiful kitchen and dining room furniture as well.
The timbers we use are the most striking and vibrant expression of nature's potential. Often as not, individual pieces reflect this through their apparent design simplicity, yet their beauty and visual impact is simply stunning.
Any good butcher will tell you the only real surface for chopping meat is an old-fashioned end-grain butchers’ block. We've simply refined those hugely practical attributes into some of the most fabulous defining details for a truly fabulous finish for a great kitchen.
Stools are a brilliant solution to the practical problem of island seating in a kitchen. Our Shaker style bar stools are actually remarkably comfortable thanks to the small scoop in the seat.
Norfolk Oak are very much exponents of freestanding kitchen furniture, in particular beautifully made kitchen dressers. Made from solid hardwoods, even when painted, nothing can match their durability and elegance.
A typical Norfolk Oak kitchen dresser weighs in at a couple of hundred kilos, and will more than likely still be in use centuries from now. As ever, it's the details that define the piece.
Dining tables are a classic example of letting the splendor of the timber define the piece. With our heritage in selecting and hand processing some of the finest hardwoods in the world, it's not surprising our dining tables are in such high demand.
Whether it's one of our own designs, an adaptation, or perhaps something you have in your mind, we can translate ideas to bespoke pieces that absolutely create the look and feel you want.
Whilst these chairs clearly look beautifully elegant and simple, they are in fact quite the most comfortable chair to sit in. Made by a small Amish family firm in deepest Ohio, they are now one of only a few finished items we import directly from the United States.
Norfolk Oak cabinets and sideboards are perhaps the greatest expression of matching the cabinet makers art with the finest timbers.
With grain often running at 90°, balancing framework with aesthetic impact, and design practicalities having enormous impact on construction methods, creating a beautiful sideboard is arguably one of the hardest things cabinet makers can make. To make the most of every aspect of the design, materials and construction is a challenge our senior cabinet makers simply relish.
