Handcrafted Children's Furniture in Kent
The Little Furniture Company was founded over sixteen years ago as The Little Chair Company, quickly establishing itself as a trusted name in bespoke children's furniture. After a brief hiatus to focus on family commitments, we relaunched in 2025 with a broader product range while retaining our commitment to handcrafted quality. Based in the Kent countryside, our founder Ali Wright leads a creative process that combines traditional woodworking with individually hand-painted designs. Each piece is customised to client specifications, whether matching bedroom decor or incorporating personal elements like family pets. Our workshop operates from a historic oast house, drawing inspiration from local landscapes while maintaining traditional children's themes like teddy bears and farm animals.Every item undergoes careful packaging before nationwide UK delivery, ensuring safe arrival of these unique heirloom-quality pieces. Our gallery showcases past creations, from safari animals to ballet mice, demonstrating the breadth of our artistic capabilities. Customer collaboration remains central to our process, with opportunities to discuss bespoke requirements via phone or email. Over 90% of our output features original artwork, though we can replicate specific designs when requested. This balance of creativity and client focus has sustained our reputation for producing treasured keepsakes that grow with families.
