SUSTAINABILITY 

Sustainability is absolutely central to the Whyman Furniture approach. All timber is sourced from sustainably managed local woodlands, most from within a 50 mile radius of the Bristol workshop. 

Longevity is assured with a deep understanding of the material, construction techniques, and deeply considered design aesthetic.
