At Hugh Miller Furniture, we combine the hand of the craftsman with the eye of the architect. Specialising in gallery-standard contemporary furniture in wood, we design and construct pieces of exceptional quality for clients throughout the UK, and around the world.

Hugh trained as an architect, and sees his furniture as small pieces of architecture, where the concept is embedded in the intricacy of the detail. Our studio has developed a unique and recognisable design language, heavily influenced by our founder's time studying in Japan as a Churchill Research Fellow.

We have an expanding collection of exquisitely made pieces of timeless furniture and, being handmade and finished, these can be customised to meet the most specific of client requirements. We are also pleased to accept bespoke commissions, creating unique pieces of heirloom quality cabinetry.

Our materials pallet spans the familiar to the unusual. We use British timbers, selected by hand, and combine them with materials such as Japanese bamboo, marine-grade brass, and full-grain leather. These materials illuminate the duality of cultural influences that underpin our studio.

In addition to creating our studio collection and bespoke pieces, we also design for established luxury brands. Recent collaborations include a coffee table and side table for Benchmark Furniture, an ArtSuite bedroom for the IceHotel in Sweden, and a limited edition gift box for Savoir Beds.

The Hugh Miller Furniture studio, where all of our pieces are designed and made, is in the Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool. Located on the 2nd floor of a Victoria warehouse, the studio is a tall, columned space with memories of it’s maritime past, and is the perfect setting for our craft workshop of today. All materials are hoisted up the outside of the building, as they were 100 years ago, and finished pieces are taken out the same way.

In the HMF blog, Hugh writes about recent commissions, jointing techniques and processes, and upcoming exhibitions of our work. Get in touch if you’d like to know more about any of the items featured.
