Very Good & Proper

Very Good & Proper is a London furniture brand that launched in 2009 with three pieces still in production: the Canteen Table, the Hook & Knob and the Utility Chair. It is led by director Ed Carpenter and design director André Klauser, who have worked together since 2005, and its by-line is “Measure twice, cut once”.

The range is designed in London and manufactured in the UK and Europe by a selected network of suppliers and fabricators the team works with hands-on, with a showroom at Offley Works in Brixton and production on Blackhorse Lane in Walthamstow. Alongside its own designs, VG&P has commissioned pieces from Michael Marriott, ceramicist Ian McIntyre, John Tree, Terence Woodgate and AC/AL, and sells to architects and dealers worldwide as well as to private homes.
