British furniture brand Another Country has joined forces with purpose-driven design studio Goldfinger, known for its bespoke commissions, tree-cycling, and community Future Makers programme.
"Together, this partnership elevates sustainable furniture making through combining their in-house expertise and capabilities and opening doors for the next generation of sustainable furniture makers and designers," the pair state.
This partnership marks a significant milestone for both brands. Together, as certified B Corps, they are joining forces to create one of the UK’s most sustainably driven furniture and design studios.
Founded in Dorset in 2010 by design entrepreneur Paul de Zwart, Another Country has championed craft and sustainability, reinterpreting classic forms for the modern home.
Goldfinger, founded in 2013 by Marie Cudennec Carlisle, shares the same ethos. Born from a mission to create collaborative design for the greater good, Goldfinger blends craftsmanship with social purpose.
“We’re incredibly proud to bring Goldfinger into the Another Country family," says Paul. "We’ve long admired their commitment to craftsmanship, community and sustainability – values that mirror our own. By joining forces, we’re combining two like-minded British businesses with a shared ethos, strengthening our ability to create design that is not only beautiful and enduring but also makes a genuine, positive impact.”
The addition of Goldfinger brings new depth to Another Country’s offering. With expanded in-house capabilities and a growing network of skilled makers, clients will benefit from a full-service design studio that can deliver customisable furniture collections, bespoke commissions and responsible manufacturing, with production continuing across workshops in the UK and Portugal.
"I'm delighted that Goldfinger has joined forces with Another Country, a fellow B Corp and acclaimed British furnituremaker whose values of timeless craftsmanship and sustainability align so well with our own," says Marie. "After 12 years leading Goldfinger, I am very proud to pass the CEO baton to the immensely talented and experienced Paul de Zwart of Another Country – an industry pioneer and now our majority shareholder. I couldn’t imagine a better steward for Goldfinger’s future, and I look forward to continuing to support our mission from my new role on the board as non-executive director."
Goldfinger’s award-winning apprenticeship and mentoring programme will continue with this new chapter.
