A spirit that matches our own

Our name, Somer, comes from Somerset – ‘land of the summer people’. Based in Frome (pronounced froome), a town known for its independent spirit, we continue the tradition of standing against the status quo.


Why we embrace the rhythm of trees

A 100-year-old ash tree is only just reaching maturity. We respect the natural rhythm of the materials we work with while embracing the efficiency needed to create a new model for the furniture industry. Trees grow slowly, we work swiftly, and you can enjoy Somer furniture at your own pace.


Designed for generations

We use premium quality timber stock to design contemporary freestanding furniture that stands the test of time. This means you won’t need to replace your furniture every few years, saving you money and reducing waste. Our modular system allows you to adapt and expand your space as your needs change. It is a considered investment. One that holds its value, moves with you, and never needs replacing.


The origin story

Somer’s founder, Will Floyd-Maclean, honed his craft over 10 years at the helm of several award winning design and fabrication studios. A design-led approach to craft that is the mainstay of Wills career to date informs everything we do at Somer. The difference is that now we’re free to take full responsibility for the life cycle of our products.


Our people

Highly skilled craftspeople form the backbone of Somer, united by a commitment to making things properly. Their experience across technically demanding projects is what allows us to deliver the level of finish our clients expect.
