The Hroth Story
From Workshop to Home
In 1924, Thomas Hroth opened a small workshop in the heart of Yorkshire, driven by a simple belief: that furniture should be made to last. He began hand-building sofas for local families, each one signed and dated — a tradition we uphold to this day.
Over the decades, our workshop grew, but our principles never wavered. We source the finest hardwoods from sustainable British forests. We hand-tie every spring. We cut every pattern with the care of a tailor. What began as one man's craft has become a legacy carried forward by three generations of the Hroth family.
"We don't make furniture — we craft heirlooms."
Today, Hroth sofas grace homes from London to Tokyo, from Edinburgh to New York. Yet every piece still begins and ends in our Yorkshire workshop, where skilled craftspeople — some with forty years at their bench — apply techniques refined over a century.
We believe that true sustainability means building furniture so well it never needs replacing. That's why every Hroth piece carries our lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. It's not a marketing promise. It's the foundation of who we are.
