Ethos
We understand the importance of design and the effect it can have on people. Design acts as a communication tool, expressing the culture and values of an organisation. Good design helps attract and retain a talented workforce whilst great design enhances wellbeing. We believe that beautifully designed furniture is critical to the success of an organisation as happy and healthy people are more likely to be energised, productive and present.
We are a new British furniture company specialising in the creation of contract-quality furniture for the commercial market. Founded in 2019, Not Another Chair focuses on inventing and renewing furniture typologies inspired by the workplace’s changing needs.
We work closely with a team of skilled suppliers to develop, prototype and manufacture products, the majority of which are produced here in the UK with several components being manufactured in Europe. If you are interested in any of our collections please get in touch with us here.
Designed by us
Founder and principal designer Sam Pettersen is first and foremost a furniture designer having gained over a decade of experience in design and manufacture.
Keep it simple
Less really is more. We remove the unnecessary and frivolous to create well-considered products which are economic to manufacture and efficient to transport.
Make it last
We believe in making fewer products that last longer. We achieve this by combining quality materials, timeless looks and robust construction techniques to create products which are well-made, useful and repairable.
Thanks to the knock down construction, our furniture lasts longer and is easier to fix if something goes wrong. We use screws rather than glue to ensure all parts can easily be replaced, repaired or recycled.
Make a difference
Doing the right thing not only feels great but makes a difference. Whether it’s paying our suppliers fairly, reducing the amount of waste we produce or considering the materials we use and how we can be more responsible with them, making right decision isn’t always the easiest but it’s the only choice for us.
We manufacture furniture in a way that benefits people and the planet, that’s why we only use timber sourced from plantations approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) in our furniture.
