Roger Lewis launch Clerkenwell Pop Up Showroom at Echelon Workplaces

Our founder, Roger Lewis, fell in love with contemporary design while under the mentorship of Terence Conran in the 1970s. Starting his career in cabinetry, Roger made the move into furniture design and manufacturing in 1988, after being approached by iconic retailer Heals. Working alongside Pat, his wife, Roger took the business from kitchen table to a fully-fledged firm, garnering the attention of an impressive roster of internationally renowned clients over 25 years. Since Roger’s retirement in 2013 the business has embarked on a new chapter, under the leadership of our Managing Director, Marc Richard. Applying a fresh, future facing approach underpinned by a rich wealth of skill and craftsmanship built up over 30 years, we are supporting the commercial design community in meeting the industry’s evolving needs. Many of our new clients have been surprised to learn that a significant amount of the furniture we create is bespoke designed to meet the exacting needs of each commercial project we work on. While all Roger Lewis products have customisable elements, from timber finish to fabric selection, the bespoke service we offer for large projects goes one step further. Our new, highly sustainable production facility in Frome, Somerset is designed for large volume batch production so is set up to fulfil large orders, without sacrificing on quality. Our abilities to collaborate with clients to create unique furniture, and curate additional pieces from our trusted UK partners (such as art, soft furnishings, and home decor) is why Roger Lewis bespoke services are relied upon by clients such as leading Workplace, Hospitality Brands and Build to Rent developers.
