Most furniture is built to be replaced.
We build ours to be inherited.
We started Ashwick because too much furniture isn't built to be lived with. It's built to be replaced: made fast and cheap, finished in chemicals you can't pronounce, and filled with things that shouldn't be in a home.
We thought there should be another option. We wanted furniture made the way it used to be: slowly, by hand, from materials you'd recognize and could trust.
Where the name comes from
Ashwick takes its name from the English countryside, a place of stone villages, hedgerows and old houses where a good chair outlived the person who bought it. That's the idea we build around, and every piece carries the name of a British place: the Marlowe, the Chatsworth, the Pembroke. We took the spirit of those places, not the address. Everything we make is made here, in America.
Made by hand, in the USA
Every piece is built to order by skilled craftspeople in our American workshop. Frames are cut and joined by hand, the fill is layered by hand, and the fabric is fitted and stitched by hand. Nothing sits in a warehouse. Your piece is started when you order it and finished for your home.
What goes into it
Solid hardwood frames. Organic wool, linen and kapok. Natural oils. Nothing synthetic: no foam, no chemical flame retardants, no plastic. If we can't make a piece from materials we trust, we don't make it.
As designed, or as you'd like it
Choose a piece as we designed it, or make it your own with a different fabric, depth, length or finish. Either way, it's made once, for one home.
One piece at a time, for one home at a time. Built to last a lifetime, then handed down.
Made of nature. Built to last.
