About

Matthew Cox is a studio and workshop creating made-to-measure and bespoke furniture and lighting in Stamford, Lincolnshire. We design and make pieces that are foundational to a space, architectural in presence, built for generations of real use, and designed to become more beautiful with time and care.

We certified as a B Corp in 2024 and were the highest-scoring company in our industry at certification. That reflects a commitment running through every decision we make: to design and make furniture and lighting that is as essential and beautiful in 100 years as it is today.

Matthew worked for many years as an antique furniture dealer before turning to design. That background, an understanding of what survives and why, shapes everything that comes out of the workshop and informs how every piece is designed, made and finished.

We help our clients choose wisely, providing them with the resources needed to commission, appreciate and care for our furniture and lighting. Not only do we design with longevity in mind, but we create pieces and finishes that will become more beautiful and valuable with time, care and use.

Guided by our 100-year plan, our team of makers, finishers, designers, and the studio and operations team make furniture and lighting that people use, love and value while deepening craft and creativity within our company and communities.
