About us

Furniture made properly, by people who care

From an early love of woodworking to a growing Norfolk workshop, The Grain Company has always been about making useful furniture with character.

Our story

How we began…

A love of woodworking has been there from the beginning. At just 12 years old, Jacob started Vintage Valentine, making handcrafted wooden gifts and ornaments to sell at local craft fairs.

He always wanted to build a business of his own and planned to study fine furniture-making at university. When COVID changed that route, he decided to put the idea into practice instead. In November 2020, The Grain Company began as a small workshop operation and quickly found customers looking for furniture with real character.

Who we are…

Today, The Grain Company is still a small, independent Norfolk workshop. We make furniture, steelwork and cabinetry with an emphasis on quality, thoughtful design and a personal service.

Whether you choose one of our existing pieces or ask us to adapt something for your space, you can discuss the details directly with the people making it. For suitable bespoke projects, we can also prepare CAD drawings so you can see how the finished piece will look before manufacture begins.

Made from scratch

Our designs

Our furniture is made from the raw materials in our own Norfolk workshop. The timber is cut, prepared, joined, sanded and finished by our team, while our steel bases and frames are fabricated in-house before being powder coated for a durable finish.

We offer a broad range of table shapes, sizes and leg designs, and much of the collection can be adapted to suit your room. That might mean changing the dimensions, choosing a different finish or developing a completely bespoke piece.

What matters to us

Our values

We want every piece to feel full of character while still working properly in everyday life. Our designs bring together classic, modern and industrial influences, with the grain, knots and natural markings of the timber becoming part of the finished piece rather than something to hide.

Our rustic pine furniture is made from new, Grade-A Canadian pine rather than reclaimed boards. The timber is kiln dried and free from the unknown treatments or contaminants sometimes found in old wood; we create the aged, rustic character through our own making and finishing process.

Alongside pine, we work with selected hardwoods, sheet materials and mild steel to make dining tables, benches, storage, cabinetry and one-off commissions. Wherever practical, our materials and packaging are sourced from other UK businesses.
