Reclaimed Wood Furniture by Covessence
Covessence is a British furniture brand specialising in reclaimed wood, hand-built in small batches, using time-honoured wood working techniques, at our workshop in Cumbria.
The collection was born from a desire to craft furniture with real history - using salvaged timber from characterful buildings around the world, from Kentucky tobacco barns to Victorian schoolhouses to Japanese rail depots. Each piece carries the marks of where it came from, and the craftsmanship that went into making it.
