Our Design Philosophy
A passion for inspired design. Uniquely beautiful materials. An elevated aesthetic. Crafted with the idea that great design tells a story.
Since the mid-90’s, Goodwood Home has woven a narrative of design evolution over its more than two-decade history. Commencing with traditional pieces, our journey seamlessly transitioned into crafting timeless and modern designs. Throughout this dynamic evolution, certain constants have defined Goodwood's design philosophy: an unwavering commitment to comfort, structural integrity, quality craftsmanship, and a keen understanding of our customers' needs.
At the core of our design ethos is an emphasis on creating furniture that transcends mere aesthetics. Comfort remains the heartbeat of every Goodwood creation, transforming each piece into an inviting sanctuary.
Our dedication to structural integrity ensures that each design is not just visually appealing but also a lasting, reliable addition to any space. The pursuit of quality craftsmanship, upheld since our inception, reflects in the meticulous selection of premium materials and the artistry applied in production. Above all, our customer-centric approach guides our designs, acknowledging the diverse needs and lifestyles of those who welcome Goodwood furniture into their homes.
And that is where furniture becomes more than simply a product, it’s where form and function meet, where insight and understanding creates purpose. At Goodwood we believe the best design, puts people in the centre. Our inspiration is the end consumer.
Our Design Process
-
Inspiration often comes when you least expect it. True originality is borne from what we see around us – from art, from nature, from our first car. That’s why we work with designers from all walks of life from all around the world.
Each designer brings their own injection of inspiration to create a portfolio of products that holds a beauty that is more than skin deep. Intelligent designs that complement the architecture around us, that are crafted responsibly and finished with a level of comfort and detail that is inimitable.
-
We believe in innovation, not imitation. Each one of our designs begins well before pencil reaches paper, it begins with understanding - an understanding of people, of how they sit, move, stand, and perch and how furniture becomes a backdrop to the events in their lives.
Having crafted furniture for 25 years, we’ve also developed an understanding of what we need to do to make the impossible possible. Our experience, together with our long-standing relationships means that we can create our own tooling and come up with new techniques to bend, shape and form in ways yet never discovered.
-
In the design process, technology is seamlessly integrated. We bring line drawings to life with advanced techniques, ensuring innovation and functionality. Quality testing is paramount, identifying strengths and potential weaknesses through CAD software packages. This meticulous approach ensures our products are both strong and beautiful from the start.
-
A unique combination of state of the art manufacturing technology together with traditional hand finished expertise, allows us to create beautifully finished and detailed furniture collections. As a true manufacturer, we design, we weld, we paint, we mould, we cut and we sew.
Although we produce thousands of pieces per year, each and every one is finished with the same care during every part of the manufacturing and upholstery process to achieve the highest level of detail.
-
A flawless finish is our trademark, highlighting the beauty and durability of our furniture. In carpentry and metalwork, modern design harmonizes with traditional finishing, showcasing the unique character of each material. Whether you lean towards a natural and organic look or desire a pop of color, our range of finishes is tailored to complement your space.
-
Every one of our products has been through a rigorous testing system and our clients’ requirements are adhered to with a strict Right First Time and Zero Defect policy.
We test our products for their structural strength and durability. With this data, we not only meet our own strict quality assurance standards, but we can also build this into the designs of future products making them the best in their class.
