Staverton has a long history of high quality bespoke furniture design and craftsmanship. Follow our time line to view how the business has grown and developed since it was established in 1928.

Staverton Joinery arose out of the rebuilding of the 14th century medieval hall at Dartington in South Devon. The restoration needed to be executed by skilled craftsmen, who were at that time in short supply and had to be recruited from further afield. Upon completion of the Great Hall project three years later, measures were taken to prevent the team of craftsmen from dispersing. An old flour mill at the nearby village of Staverton was refitted to provide new works and house the gifted set of joiners, cabinet makers and builders. Thus a new company was formed called Staverton Builders Limited.
During the Second World War large contracts for the MOD were undertaken but in 1946 a fire destroyed the original factory. The adjacent site was then adopted as Staverton's home.

By the 1960s, Staverton had developed a reputation for high quality craftsmanship and securing major contracts for specialist joinery in the Middle East. This period also saw Staverton manufacturing furniture ranges for the Crown Suppliers and this developed into many contracts for Crown Court Buildings and major London hotels.

By the 1980’s contemporary furniture was being manufactured to the same high quality ethos and standard as the traditional and historical bespoke furniture. The range of designs included specialist dealer floor furniture required for the ever-changing technology of the burgeoning information age.
By the late 1990's Staverton had established itself as a leading design-led UK furniture manufacturer with significant recognition within the A&D community. However in Sept 2002, their ongoing dependence on a single major client within a saturated market led to them being placed into receivership. At this stage Logic Office Group plc stepped in and acquired the Staverton name and their superbly equipped Devon factory.

In 2002, the company commissioned designers Seymour Powell Foresight to conduct an extensive research into the office market and to provide some initial conceptual designs for the next generation of office furniture.
At Design Prima '05, the Staverton brand was re-launched introducing new and innovative product ranges, unlike other systems of their kind.

The revamped Staverton continues to maintain an impressive profile in the workspace sector. Over these years, Staverton has embarked upon successful press campaigns which has seen the brand feature in numerous industry leading publications such as FX and On Office.

In 2007 the company's manufacturing facility was relocated to the Logic Group's principle factory in Yorkshire, allowing Staverton's clients to benefit from both faster turnaround times and increased efficiency. Moving the company's operations base also helped to support Staverton's strong environmental record by streamlining the manufacturing process and reducing both emission and waste levels across the business.

In 2009, Staverton released its LT range which was successfully launched at Clerkenwell Design Week in May 2010. This was closely followed by the launch of the ZD range, which won Staverton a project for 1400 workstations at Severn Trent Water, Coventry. The profile of the ZD range was also further raised within ICON’s Product Yearbook 2010/11.

The brand continues to grow and maintain high quality standards with the FIRA Gold Award being achieved in 2011 and the release of its latest CL benching solution.
