About Another Country
Founded in 2010, Another Country is a company that designs and makes contemporary wood furniture and home accessories.
Our designs are inspired by archetype, calling on the familiar and unpretentious forms of British Country kitchen style, Shaker, traditional Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork for inspiration. We endeavor to re-interpret the spirit and functionality of these honest forms of furniture for a modern customer.
Another Country aims to deliver quality and longevity at fair prices – our products are built to last, both in terms of construction and style. All of our wooden products are made from sustainable timbers and we make use of both time-honoured craft techniques and modern technology and we work in as sustainable a way as possible.
You can purchase products for your home or project from us directly or through select dealers in the UK and worldwide.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be a responsible, purposeful and useful company that is fit for the 21st century, and our ambition is to sell our sustainably made furniture to as many people as possible.
To do this, we strive to strike the right balance between craft and industry.
Our promise to you:
Since our inception, we have endeavoured to produce our product and run our business at the most sustainable level possible. Our suppliers only source timber (our material of choice) that is sustainably harvested from either European and North American forests, we manufacture in workshops in the UK and Portugal, we pack using as much recyclable material as possible and deliver directly to you via our London-based warehouse. Where there are instances of our suppliers using packaging that may not always adhere to our standards, we will work tirelessly to ensure they will do so. Our objective is to pack our goods with 100% recyclable materials.
When it comes to our loose and/or upholstered items, such as our day bed mattress and bolster, our sofa or seat pad, these are made with 100% natural materials by our partner Naturalmat. Naturalmat is the only UK mattress maker using certified organic latex and certified organic coir (coconut fibre) and source their lambswool locally.
Every other aspect of what we do is also considered. Our energy is supplied by a green energy supplier, we have strict recycling standards, we offer a repair and restore service for our furniture, we minimise our use of paper collateral when a digital solution is equally effective, we use natural cleaning products at work and have begun to embrace wellbeing principles with regards to our design and manufacturing practices.
Thank you for joining us on our journey. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us an email.
How it’s made
We combine traditional methods of making with modern technology to ensure that each piece is made with great care, attention to detail and precision. Every piece is hand assembled, hand finished and quality controlled before leaving the workshops.
