A unique opportunity for bespoke makers

The Furniture Makers’ Company supports bespoke makers in many ways, with the most prevalent being our prestigious Bespoke Guild Mark Award; rewarding excellence in design, craftsmanship, and function for pieces made as single items or a limited run of up to 12.

Bespoke Guild Mark applications are accepted all year round, and awardees will receive a numbered Guild Mark certificate and a unique enameled disc to be fixed to each piece awarded. Bespoke Guild Mark pieces are recognisable items of quality and excellence.

Please visit our dedicated page for more information on how to apply.
