Who We Are Our Story
What sets handmade furniture apart is its superior quality and durability. Though it may come at a higher cost, the craftsmanship and skill involved ensure it lasts far longer than mass-produced alternatives.
OUR STORY
Founded In The Heart of yorkshire
Founded in 2014 in the heart of Leeds, Leather & Down is a luxury handcrafted furniture retailer dedicated to bringing timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship into your home. Our passion lies in blending the beauty of centuries-old Nordic traditions with modern innovations, creating pieces that offer both elegance and functionality. Every item in our collection is a celebration of craftsmanship, carefully selected by our expert designers to bring warmth, character, and distinction to your living spaces.
We believe that furniture should tell a story. Imagine walking into a room where every piece speaks of artistry, care, and dedication—where the rich scent of solid wood fills the air and each curve and detail reflects the beauty of handcrafting. Our furniture is more than just decor—it’s an expression of who you are and how you live.
Leather & Down was founded by Charles Down and Chris Leather, united by a shared passion for creating spaces that feel like home. Charles, with his extensive experience in the furniture industry, set out to offer high-quality, beautifully crafted products at competitive prices. Chris, drawing from his background in therapy, understood how a well-designed space could enhance well-being and enrich everyday life. Together, they built a brand that combines aesthetics with comfort.
Our Journey
Over the years, Leather & Down has expanded its offerings to include a curated range of furniture for dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and hallways. Our collection features standout designs made from high-quality materials, such as mango wood, sourced from trusted suppliers. We know that creating a home is a journey, one that evolves with you over time, and we’re here to provide the furniture that helps shape and nurture your ideal living space.
OUR STORY
The highest quality in house craftsmanship..
We are passionate about creating furniture that is not only beautiful but built to last. Every piece we craft combines stunning aesthetics with durability and functionality, designed to enhance your home for years to come. Our furniture reflects your personal style, embodying more than just decor—it’s an expression of who you are. Using both traditional and modern techniques, our skilled craftsmen create luxurious Nordic-inspired designs. We only work with the finest materials—whether it’s wood, metal, or glass—ensuring that every piece is crafted to perfection and stands the test of time.
Our Mission
From the very beginning, our mission has been to craft timeless furniture while prioritising sustainable practices. We understand that your home is an extension of you, and we aim to create long-lasting, eco-friendly pieces that reflect your values. While our craft relies on natural resources, we ensure that the timber we use is sourced from responsibly managed, commercially planted forests, fully certified under the highest standards of forestry laws. By using reclaimed and responsibly recycled wood, we offer furniture that is both environmentally conscious and true to the natural beauty of the materials we work with.
Our Vision
We envision a world where beautifully crafted furniture enhances homes while protecting the planet. We aim to lead the industry in sustainable design, creating timeless, eco-friendly pieces that inspire joy and endure for generations, all while fostering responsible environmental practices.
Our Values
We are dedicated to sustainability and craftsmanship. Using responsibly sourced wood from regenerative plantations, like mango trees past their fruit-bearing life, we craft durable, heirloom-quality furniture. Our plastic-free pledge, launched in 2022, eliminates non-biodegradable materials without raising costs for customers. We prioritise sea freight, support tree-planting initiatives, and comply with the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) to reduce our carbon footprint. All fabrics are fire-retardant, and our lead-free furniture is made in socially compliant factories, ensuring safety and ethics. By rejecting throw-away culture, we strive to minimise waste and build a greener future.
