Our Story – MacMaster Design
"Furniture should be as much an artistic statement as it is functional. I design to make a visual impact, to stimulate the imagination and to have an elegance that gives timeless appeal.
Bespoke Wood Furniture Makers
Founded in 2009 by Alex MacMaster, MacMaster specialises in the design and production of timber based lighting and wood furniture products. Every single piece is hand made in England in the MacMaster workshop located in the Worcestershire countryside. With design, development, manufacture and packaging based in-house, the business is able to work closely with clients to offer a streamlined service to meet specific requirements and time schedules. MacMaster’s bespoke wood furniture and products are received by a global audience from luxury homes, highly regarded retailers to ambitious commercial projects.
MacMaster is pleased to work with corporate clients, and communicates closely with architects and interior designers to furnish domestic and commercial settings. As expert wood furniture makers, the company’s expertise includes phases from concept generation, through to design development, prototype and production. We have found this hands-on approach gives a deeper insight into the intricacies and challenges of bringing bespoke wood furniture products to market.
Alex designs for maximum output and minimum waste with some products using leftover materials from other ranges. This demonstrates an ecological awareness in line with best modern practices and adheres to ecological values and principles. The products, whilst technically challenging, are hand-produced using exacting techniques learnt and adapted from the world’s finest traditional craftsmen and bespoke wood furniture makers.
MacMaster uses natural timbers hand-picked from suppliers who source Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified timbers. FSC is an international non-government organisation set up to promote the responsible management of the World’s forests. Timber is globally regarded as one the most beautiful, versatile and naturally renewable resources.
