Since 2004 : Timeless Design, Uncompromising Craftsmanship

 

Pinch was founded in 2004 by Russell Pinch and Oona Bannon in London with a shared vision to create furniture that was both understated and timeless. Russell, a seasoned designer with a background in working alongside Sir Terence Conran—most notably contributing to the iconic Concorde interiors—was driven by the desire to craft pieces that reflected elegance and simplicity.

 

Initially inspired by the need for beautifully designed furniture that could seamlessly fit into daily life, Russell and Oona embarked on creating functional, high-quality pieces that could be loved for years. The result was Pinch, a design studio committed to producing refined, minimalist furniture with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and longevity. Over time, Pinch grew from a small studio in South London into a prestigious British luxury furniture brand known for its clean lines, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless aesthetic.

Pinch is renowned for offering luxurious yet simple furniture and lighting pieces that embody sophistication without excess. Their design philosophy centers on "quiet luxury," crafting beautifully designed items that prioritize craftsmanship and functionality over fleeting trends. The brand’s creations are designed to stand the test of time, offering versatility for both modern and traditional interiors.

 

Pinch offers a range of meticulously designed furniture, including dining tables, chairs, sofas, lighting, and storage solutions. Every piece is designed and made in their South London studio, with Russell and Oona directly involved in the process. Pinch’s furniture is celebrated for its clean lines, subtle detailing, and use of premium materials like solid timber, marble, and linen.
