Soane’s in-house manufacturing: Nurturing skills for future generations
Soane seeks to be at the forefront of scalable British manufacturing of the highest quality; with people and planet at the heart of every decision. Soane is proud to champion British crafts, celebrating the enthusiasm and pride in workmanship shared by all its makers. Determined to secure the future of traditional crafts by investing in its workshops, Soane took full ownership of a well-established chair making workshop in Dorset in 2016, has established an in-house patination team and upholstery team in its Leicester workshops, took ownership of a long-standing upholstery workshop in Castle Cary in 2024, and most notably revived the last remaining rattan weaving workshop in the country.
