Unto This Last purpose is to offer you the convenience of the local craftsman workshop at mass-production prices
We design along a single principle; less dependence on heavy industrial processes, more use of innovative digital tools adapted to the small workshop.

On-demand, High Street Micro-Manufacturing
Instead of buying furniture from a warehouse outside of town, we thought you would prefer a visit to a workshop close to the city centre:  everything you buy from us is made at the back of our shop, on a digital router.



Making to order : more choice for you, less stock for us
Having no stock, we can already offer you more than 100 product lines from a very small location.Adding finish and size options, we have a growing catalogue of more than 2000 products to choose from. Our organisation simplifies logistics and cuts costs: we do without warehousing, transportation or packaging. This is we can propose prices competing with mass-production on a considerably reduced footprint.

Designing for local production
The style of our products reflects our design principle:
- We use a special birch ply composite throughout, in order to get edges we can polish to a smooth finish. Our software optimises the use of each sheet with smaller products to spread the cost of this material and reduce waste.
- All the parts of our products are cut from the same material to avoid depending on industrial fittings. This simplifies our supply chain and shortens our lead-time.
- We only deliver in London to eliminate the need for packaging and cut costs..
We hope you like the style which is the logical outcome of this process.



The pleasure of making things differently
Unto This Last is the title of a book written in 1860 by John Ruskin. He advocated a return to the local craftsman workshops, having a few doubts about the human cost of the Industrial Revolution. Thanks to today's technology, we make distributed manufacturing happen - with a competetive edge. If you continue to support our approach, we plan to grow by duplicating our workshop in other locations, for your convenience, and the pleasure of making things differently.
