The Company

About Us

Morgan Furniture is a wholly British, design orientated, business making seating and tables for the contract market from its dedicated 4500m2 factory in Hampshire.

At Morgan we believe the design and manufacture of truly original, high-quality furniture is the result of passion, care, design integrity, experience, craftsmanship and an unfaltering dedication to quality. This commitment could not be realised without fully integrating the design and manufacturing processes. At our factory and studio in Hampshire we start the process with trees and finish with beautifully crafted chairs.

Our Mission

To be a leading designer and manufacturer of contract seating, building strategic partnerships with designers and specifiers and working to provide quality interior solutions.

Design Process

The process of design and its co-ordination from initial concept through to brochures and image is managed by Katerina Zachariades, Design Director. We aim to continuously introduce exciting collections of individual contemporary products. These are designed by Katerina Zachariades, by Morgan Studio or in collaboration with innovative designers.

“Good design is not just beautiful, it is functional, it is a combination of great care, attention to detail and its style and quality will always endure time.”

Lean Manufacturing

Morgan is a passionate exponent of lean manufacture and, through its actions, clearly demonstrates how this approach delivers mutual benefits for company and customer. Significant reductions in waste have produced corresponding environmental gains and cost savings for the customer while, at the same time, operational efficiency has been increased resulting in improved lead times and even higher quality of product and service to the customer. We employ highly skilled, committed and motivated people, with a passion for furniture, and an ability to interpret and satisfy our customers’ needs.

We source much of our timber from European sustainable estates that are controlled with felling licenses and given PEFC/FSC certification. The logs are air dried, kilned and conditioned for between four months and two years which produces high quality timber suitable for furniture making.

Sustainability

We, at Morgan, have always been concerned by sustainability and the environmental impact of our activities, as well as our social responsibility to the wider community and we design furniture so as to reduce its overall environmental impact throughout its life cycle. We continually assess the environmental impact of our operations and through minimising the use of materials and resources; we will reduce our wastage to the lowest practical level. We heat our factory with timber and sawdust waste, using a biomass boiler. We recycle foam waste and give fabric remnants to charities.

We have the Environmental Management System ISO14001, meeting legislative requirements and demonstrating corporate governance. Our team leads in the principles of Lean Manufacture, and the elimination of Eight Wastes, which has improved our environmental performance, and optimises efficiency in all our processes.

Our customers can be confident that they are partnering a company fully committed and assessed to the environmental cause. We are involved with local schools, colleges and universities nationally and are dedicated to investing in education.

“We strive for design excellence in all of our collections and aim to continuously introduce exciting collections of individual contemporary products.”

Our Awards

We look to integrity rather than fashion for contemporary, balanced and original expressions of form and function and this honesty takes shape through manufacturing processes that are uncompromisingly focused on quality, investing our products with an enduring sense of the passion and care that is the Morgan signature. Over the last 9 years, Morgan has received the Design Guild Mark award for seven collections: Miami, City, Lima, Manhattan, Pimlico, Brompton and Kyoto.
