Where Craft Meets Character. The Story of Charles Yorke.

Based in Nottinghamshire, England, where Sherwood Forest has long been the heart of folklore and storytelling, Charles Yorke crafts and develops exquisite furniture that becomes the backdrop to each client’s unique story.

At Charles Yorke, every piece of furniture is designed to tell a story as distinctive as the home it lives in. Their process always centres around the client. Whether creating a handcrafted kitchen or a bespoke luxury bed, every design is made to suit individual requirements, ensuring the experience is as memorable as the result.

The journey begins with design. The Charles Yorke team and global partners spend time understanding the specific needs, inspirations, and aspirations behind each project, developing proposals that not only meet expectations but exceed them. Once every detail is finalised, the workshop brings the vision to life.

What Makes Their Furniture So Special

Working in harmony with nature, Charles Yorke selects only the finest materials. Their craftsmen combine traditional cabinetmaking excellence with state-of-the-art technology to create furniture of exceptional quality, finish, and attention to detail.

Inside the workshop, every element is carefully considered, from personalised drawers and detailed worktop profiles to bespoke metalwork, engraving, and custom door handles. From first designs to finishing touches, every step is passionately managed to bring each client’s vision to life exactly as imagined.

The Finest Sustainable Materials

Each material has its own story, beginning a new chapter as part of a client’s home. Charles Yorke selects the finest sustainable materials, each with its own unique texture, finish, and personality. Even unused wood plays its part, fuelling the brand’s biomass boiler, which generates heat for the premises, dries paints, and contributes to a low carbon footprint. Water-based paints and lacquers are also used, reflecting Charles Yorke’s dedication to caring for the natural environment that provides their exceptional raw materials.

Handcrafted in England

Charles Yorke holds deep respect for both the history of their materials and the traditional techniques that continue to define their craft.

Each project begins with a vision, whether fully formed or developed alongside their experienced design team. Combining traditional skills with forward-thinking innovation, they create original, individual pieces that embody their client’s personal definition of luxury.

This shared dedication to craftsmanship, creativity, and excellence is why SW partners with Charles Yorke, aligning in the belief that true luxury is found in the details and in the art of creating something entirely bespoke.
