29. Cadman

Cadman furniture is based in Wales and has been designing and making bespoke furniture. They have built a reputation as accomplished designer makers and now receive many challenging commissions from home and abroad. Each piece is 'functional art' where sculpture meets practicality and function.

The founders aim to make unique items each time which will be a fantastic addition to your home whilst being an art form. Many of the items are made to order in close collaboration with the customer. They design each piece and then every bit of furniture is made from scratch in Wales. From selecting the specific timber at the sawmill through to the finished product, they put an immense amount of time, skill and precision that goes into everything that they do. Although a very small business, this is a fine example of the quality and craftsmanship on offer across Great Britain.

27. Emma Franklin Jewellery


Emma designs and hand-makes each individual piece, using traditional techniques at her Clerkenwell studio. One of her signature items is a pair of pheasant and shotgun cufflinks. Each set is made to order with discreet initials engraved by request. The cufflinks are solid cast gold which she then solders to a chain joining the two shapes.

Having studied at Central St Martins School of Art & Design, Emma has worked in the heart of the jewellery capital in London for a number of years. She works from her own studio which offers an inspirational workplace for Emma to design and make her stunning pieces of handmade jewellery.
