Case
Case Furniture is a British design furniture brand, founded in 2005 by Paul Newman in London. Newman began his career in 1981 with the founding of Bonomi Design in North London — a design studio that produced for clients including Liberty's and Heal's and exhibited at the Milan Furniture Fair for the first time in 1988. In 1989 he opened a British franchise of Aero (an Australian design retail chain) in Westbourne Grove, West London, developing the concept into a successful multi-brand retailer with its own catalogue. After selling Aero in 1999, Newman worked as a wholesaler until 2005 before founding Case with the stated aim of making authored product design accessible at affordable prices through modern manufacturing techniques — without compromise on quality. The initial range was designed by Matthew Hilton, Terence Woodgate and Naz Kamali (former Creative Director of Aero).
Designer collaborations: Matthew Hilton (Balzac Armchair, Kingston Polytechnic training), Terence Woodgate and John Barnard (bar stool — combining precision engineering and minimal design), Robin Day (Legacy Collection, managed by his daughter Paula Day — Robin Day is the creator of the 1963 Polypropylene Chair), Samuel Wilkinson, Patricia Perez. Distribution through: John Lewis, Lane Crawford, Design Within Reach, Liberty, Heal's. Materials: FSC-certified wood, marble (Carrara, Nero Marquina, Serpentine), metal, leather, polypropylene. Range: chairs, tables, shelving, sofas, beds, stools, storage. Sustainability: responsible material sourcing, longevity as a core design principle. Made in Britain and globally manufactured.
For architects and interior designers, Case Furniture is the most honest British position in the contemporary residential furniture segment: without a premium price claim, with a designer catalogue (Hilton, Day, Woodgate) combining historical depth with modern manufacturing standards, and a distribution network consistently aligned with serious, design-conscious retail partners.
