About us
We’re a small team based in the Wiltshire countryside but we supply and install our products nationally.
We also manufacture large format print and signage with in-house graphics design.
If you see newspapers being delivered they’re probably being carried in our Bags and Trolleys too!
Our latest acquisition is a high volume flatbed printer which means we can now print bespoke glass tops for Ironfire (see the bespoke page).
Research and Development is a key part of our DNA and we are always working on projects both for clients and our own products.
Plastics, Sheet metal, Coatings, Electronics, IT, Mechanical, we have expertise or partnerships in all, so do contact us if we might be able to help you.

The Ironfire Concept.
We’re a design led business and couldn’t resist the challenge to innovate in the highly competitive furniture market.
Historically furniture has been sold in big retail outlets that need to apply big margins.
The other end of the spectrum are craft companies making highly skilled one offs.
Surely the internet could let customers work directly with makers to obtain unique, high quality products without high prices?
Based on this simple thought we developed our 7 points for better furniture buying which have become the Ironfire manifesto. See it here.
From the start we set out to create a furniture range that was innovative, beautiful and intriguing all while maintaining a signature industrial style. Show Less ▴
We believe in zero obsolescence.
Sustainability is as important to us as aesthetics and the most successful route is to make something once close to home.
So all of the wood in our tables is sourced FSC certified, sustainable forests in the UK.
Our metal frames are fabricated from heavy duty galvanised steel and they’re extremely strong.
If Ironfire furniture is looked after properly it will last a lifetime.
All parts are easily replaceable if damaged and we offer to update your table top finish, should your taste change.
We believe in service.
Ask as many questions as you like, we’re there to help at every step of the buying and production process.
A lot of thought goes into your choice of furniture, and everyone is wary about purchasing something online that is large and expensive.
For that reason, we keep in touch at every step of your Ironfire journey to make sure you are happy.
And because we deliver ourselves we make sure that you are happy with the goods before you sign for them.
You are very welcome to visit us too – we’re not far from Stonehenge!
We believe in affordability.
We say “out with all middlemen adding cost without service” We only sell our furniture online, and make and deliver everything ourselves.
Why should something handmade from quality materials be expensive?
Look at our prices to see it doesn’t have to be!
