Home & Garden
We are an award winning company designing and handcrafting lighting, furniture and cushions, using thoughtfully sourced British materials and skills. We use beautiful wools from one of England’s oldest mills nestled in Yorkshire as well as our own fabric designed in-house and printed locally. Our wood is sustainably sourced from local FSC suppliers, and our furniture legs and lamps are flawlessly hand-turned in Manchester. Central to our mission is the creation of ‘thoughtful furniture’ instead of ‘fast furniture'.

Twisted Loom

Founded by Charlotte Cochrane in 2020, Twisted Loom is a small and thoughtful business making Limited Edition furniture and homewares, using a hyper-local and sustainable approach. Recent winner of the Northwest Enterprise Award for ‘Most sustainable furniture & homewares manufacturer - Manchester’

Central to our mission is the creation of ‘thoughtful furniture’ instead of ‘fast furniture’. We use beautiful wools from one of the UK’s oldest mills nestled in Yorkshire, our wood is locally sourced and FSC certified, and our legs and lamps are designed and flawlessly hand-turned by Phil, (our Wood Man extraordinaire) right here in Manchester, England.

HOW WE WORK

We are accountable.
We are genuinely trying hard to work in a sustainable way and are more than happy to discuss our methods with you. It’s not easy being 'green', we know this and love a chance to show off when we can!

For example, wherever possible we try to source recycled wood for our lamp bases. For our furniture, we don’t just use any old offcuts either; Phil, our woodman, rejects any cheap or heavily glued timber as it doesn’t last, it’s not good quality, and quite simply, he doesn’t like working with it. The good stuff he picks out is always FSC certified.

We are a local business
Wool is our main choice of fabric and we source it from two local mills that have a milling and weaving heritage going back hundreds of years. Our uniquely designed linen is used for our cushions and lamps and is sourced and printed locally. Phil our woodman is based in Manchester too and sources all our wood for us. Our cardboard packaging is re-used and donated to us by the deli down the road from our studio!

Biodegradable
We are moving towards using wool and rubberised coir exclusively as a filling for our products. That’s because both of these substances are biodegradable and natural.

Our products are hardwearing
Because we use quality components, our products are made to last – our wooden furniture frames come with a LIFETIME guarantee and we also provide a ‘Re-dazzling’ service for previous customers. Re-Dazzle does just that, it re-dazzles! If at some point you fancy a different fabric, then we’ll collect, re-upholster and return, all for a serious discount. We are excessively proud of our beautiful furniture and we think you should have it forever!

What our customers say:
“The personal experience I received was excellent and a very different experience to dealing with a large company”.
"Thanks so much for the fantastic personal attention you gave us, your customer service is second to none”

PROVENANCE

We use beautiful British materials to make ottomans, benches, lamps, lampshades and cushions. Our materials come from local suppliers and our furniture and homewares are handcrafted in our Manchester studio.

All materials and components are sourced locally from the northwest of England. Our sustainable timber is sourced from FSC suppliers and our legs and lamps are hand-turned. We’re proud to support our British textile industry and use wool from two of Yorkshire’s oldest mills, each with a heritage dating back hundreds of years. The lighting components are sourced from UK suppliers and are PAT tested and fully UKCA compliant.
