Florence Bed

Billings Jackson Design 2010


‘Florence’ is the first all-timber furniture range to be designed by Billings Jackson. It was inspired by US-sourced solid wood construction and the prototypes are in use less than half a mile from where the cherry used was felled in West Michigan. All joints are timber and the assembly keys the elements together without glue or further fixings, making the range highly sustainable.


The Florence range is available in most species of indigenous wood, the intention being that it is shipped no more than 500 miles from the source of timber. Consequently, lead times vary depending on finding and selecting the width and lengths of timber required.

Florence bed follows the same sustainable design principles as the table and bench. In combining traditional craft techniques with the contemporary notion of 'flat pack' furniture, it rejects the disposability of the latter and instead offers a high quality, custom-made product at a competitive price.
