The bespoke furniture scene in London isn’t quiet, polite, or predictable anymore — and Smithers prove it with handcrafted pieces that look more like collectors’ items than home décor. From denim-wrapped armchairs to millionaire-grade gold vaults, these are the pieces that get people talking, photographing, and showing off.
Whether it’s a townhouse in Chelsea, a loft in Shoreditch, a penthouse in Canary Wharf, or a boutique hotel in Soho, these designs are built to turn heads — and every single one is custom made by expert workshops.
1. Denim Wing-Back Armchair – £4,000
A classic wing-back chair rebuilt with hand-stitched vintage denim. One-of-a-kind, bold, and completely customisable. Nothing else in London looks like it.
2. Walnut Sideboard – £4,000
Mid-century craftsmanship meets bespoke detailing. Premium walnut, brass accents, and clean lines that sit perfectly in a dining room or office.
3. Roadie Sideboard – £4,000
Inspired by tour flight cases — wheels, hardware, storage drawers — and built by hand. London restaurants and bars have been using these for front-of-house showpieces.
4. Roadie Coffee Table Trunk – £3,500
A heavy-duty centrepiece with flight-case styling. Tough, industrial, but beautifully finished.
5. Monocles Gold Cabinet – £20,000
Bespoke luxury furniture at the highest level. Solid wood, precision-machined brass circles, and a retro Hollywood feel. Made to order for luxury homes, boutique hotels, and private bars.
6. Monocles Sideboard – £12,500
The smaller sibling to the Gold Cabinet. Polished, glamorous, and customisable.
7. Tape Cassette Coffee Table – £3,900
Built like a giant vintage cassette tape, with hidden storage. London’s creative agencies and media studios snap these up — they make a statement before you even press play.
8. Chesterfield Sofa – £4,000
Hand-built, deep buttoned, full leather. Real craftsmanship. Each sofa is made to order, colour and size included.
9. Brando Armchair – £5,500
Black leather and walnut curves with a cinematic feel. Made individually, no mass production.
10. Villain Chair – £6,500
A sculptural, angular armchair that looks like it belongs in a secret lair. Fully custom, engineered to sit like luxury but look like art.
Why London Loves Bespoke
Because London homes aren’t average. Interior designers, restaurateurs, collectors and homeowners want something with presence — something that wasn’t churned off a production line.
Smithers’ bespoke pieces are handcrafted in specialist workshops, built in real wood and metal, customised to size, colour, finish, and upholstery. No two orders are ever the same.
