All of our products are designed and hand made in our workshop in the North East of England. Each product is quality checked before leaving the workshop to ensure that you receive a piece which can be enjoyed for many years to come. Minimising the environmental impact of a product is important to us. The design and making process at Parlour are thoroughly thought through to make our furniture and accessories as environmentally friendly as possible. Parlour endeavours to build relationships with likeminded businesses and promotes the use of regional support industries. Parlour was originally set up in 2006 by Garry Smith, who studied cabinet making and wood machining at London Guildhall University. This was followed by BA (Hons) Furniture Design and Finecraftmanship at Buckingham and Chilterns University in High Wycombe, under the tuition of Hugh Scriven — designer maker. Garry recently won the Leeds Emerging Artist Award 2010 for his creativity and unique designs and has achieved press coverage for his work in London, Yorkshire and the North East.
