About Us

With over 50 years combined experience designing and making furniture we have built an extensive knowledge of our craft, our exposure ranges from highly individual bespoke pieces and restoration to production. This year we decided that we wanted to do something for ourselves with this “know how” and our VF range of furniture is the result, it takes our expertise as makers and allies it to a design idea which we hope you like.

Vernacular Furniture

Mathers & Hirst Vernacular furniture is based on our research into the traditional native design of the British Isles. You can directly trace the heritage of The Shakers, post-war Scandinavian master makers and the Minimalists back to the British vernacular style. With such a strong source of inspiration, we want to continue this appreciation of craft and innovation. We are passionate about it and want to make it accessible for all.
