David Linley founded his eponymous business in 1985 with the aim of designing and manufacturing furniture of the highest quality. Some 28 years on, the now highly established British design company LINLEY enjoys prominence as both a retail and bespoke business specializing in the design and production of furniture, upholstery, interiors and home accessories of a superlative quality.
Over the years, LINLEY has developed an international reputation for creating furniture and accessories that represent British craftsmanship at its very best. In particular, LINLEY has become known for its imaginative use of wood in the design of furniture, using a balance of traditional and modern techniques to achieve the best possible result whether for an individual piece or an entire room. The ethos of LINLEY is to fuse contemporary design with exquisite cabinet-making. Woods used range from the more traditional walnut and sycamore to bold Macassar ebony.
Bespoke commissions undertaken by LINLEY have ranged from individual domestic pieces such as dining tables, games tables and jewellery boxes to entire interior design projects including private residences such as an apartment within Norman Foster’s Chesa Futura building in St Moritz and a number of apartments in London’s prestigious development at The Lancasters, Hyde Park. Commercial projects have included suites at Claridge’s and the Kempinski Baltschug in Moscow and the complete refurbishment of the restaurant at The Goring Hotel.
