ABOUT US

​

​

Founded in 2009 by Sean Dare, DARE was born out of love for the beauty of natural materials and the fine craft of furniture making.  

We believe the production of our furniture is as important as the design itself, with a focused commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

All of our products are manufactured to the highest standards in our dedicated workshops across the UK and Europe.

​

Our growing collection of design-led products are created to satisfy the requirements of interior projects around the globe.

We offer a number of different options in materials, finishes and dimensions however we understand each project has its own specific aesthetic demands; We can offer a tailored design service to accommodate bespoke projects or we can offer full flexibility to our existing product line.

 

In addition to our core manufacturing we operate an independent bespoke workshop in Sussex where we can produce exclusive pieces manufactured to our meticulous standards, such as interior joinery, reception desks, banquette seating, boardroom tables & canteen tables.

We can accommodate pieces designed by Architects and Interior designers and can work from existing technical drawings or work with you to develop your concept into a finished product.​

​

Sustainability and environmental impact are key factors in all facets of the business. 

We have proudly achieved the Chain of Custody (CoC) certification status; 

(NC-COC-026801-AA) ensuring our certified timbers are traceable to source.

​

As a company we consistently review and implement ways to minimise our impact to the planet.
