Childs

Childs & Co is a furniture design and manufacturing business based in the picturesque town of Kendal, Cumbria, UK. Established in 2005, our studio has been the birthplace of heirloom pieces crafted with care and dedication by our founder, Iain Childs. With a focus on sustainable sources and a deep appreciation for the beauty of British wood, our collections are a testament to the power of conscious design and the joy of handmade craftsmanship.

Iain Childs, a UK designer and maker, brings his decades of experience and skill to create furniture that is not only visually stunning but also durable and functional. With a keen eye for form and function, Iain designs pieces that are thoughtfully crafted, beautiful to look at, and a pleasure to use. Our collections range from bespoke installations and handmade furniture to everyday household products, each piece carefully handmade and beautifully finished.

At Childs & Co, we are committed to minimising waste and maximising the impact of each piece we create. We carefully select the wood for each project, ensuring that we promote sustainability and responsible sourcing practices. Our designs are inspired by the scrapbook of ideas that live in Iain's head, brought to life through his creative process.
