Manufacturers
With over 10 years of experience in bespoke furniture production and international supply chains, we bring together European design sensibility and world-class Asian craftsmanship to deliver furniture that is both beautiful and technically refined.
Every piece we create is made to order, tailored to the specific requirements of each project. We believe luxury lies in precision, restraint and craftsmanship — furniture designed to be lived with, not just looked at.
Appleford Studio exists for designers and design studios who demand more than off-the-shelf solutions — and who value a production partner as considered and exacting as their own design process.

ABOUT US
Appleford Studio was founded by sisters Chelsea and Hayley Appleford with a shared purpose: to carry the Appleford name forward through design and beautifully made furniture. As the last of the Applefords (no pressure), the studio is rooted in legacy — not as something to preserve, but something to build.
Between them, the sisters bring two decades of complementary expertise. Chelsea has spent 10+ years sourcing luxury sofas and chairs from China, Asia and Europe, working directly with specialist manufacturers and developing a forensic eye for what makes furniture truly exceptional — from structure and comfort to materials and finish. Hayley brings a decade in brand strategy, marketing and creative direction, with a track record of building and positioning premium brands people actually remember.
Together, they work with architects and interior designers to provide access to trusted manufacturers in China and Asia — enabling the creation of bespoke sofas and furniture that stay true to each studio's vision.
Appleford Studio exists to help designers bring their ideas to life through furniture that is thoughtfully designed, beautifully finished and made to last.
