Founded in 2020 by furniture designers Sam Cooper and Richard Platt, The Marchmont Workshop are one of the last manufacturers of rush chairs in the UK. Utilising traditional techniques and materials passed down from master to apprentice for six generations to create timeless pieces of furniture, catering to both country and modern homes.

Designed from tree to home, each piece of furniture is meticulously crafted from local hardwoods sustainably sourced from woodlands around our workshop in the Scottish Borders. Every chair has a light but long-lasting seat woven from hand picked common river rushes.
