South Wales is home to two sister furniture brands making big waves with hand-crafted, premium pieces, The BOX Furniture and Chunk Monkey. Both began with a passion for quality craftsmanship and have grown into distinct brands, each offering a unique approach to modern living, yet both rooted in durability, design and a deep respect for materials.


Where it all began


The story started with The BOX Furniture, now celebrated for bespoke hardwood creations that highlight the natural beauty of timber. From waney edge dining tables to coffee tables and desks, each piece is designed to complement its space while enhancing the wood’s organic lines, knots and textures. Over the years, The BOX has expanded beyond private commissions, completing commercial projects for bars, restaurants and offices across the region, from cantilever stools and custom bar tops to communal tables.


Innovation and material mastery are at the heart of the workshop in Swansea. The team’s expertise now includes sheet metal work using copper, brass and zinc, allowing for specialist commissions including bespoke bar tops and interior tables. A signature copper patination technique, refined over the past decade, adds another layer of artistry to their distinctive offering.

Chunk Monkey: Rustic, practical, and accessible


While bespoke hardwood remains the core of the business, rising demand for rustic industrial furniture inspired the creation of Chunk Monkey. Named after the iconic Mumbles Pier monkey and firmly rooted in South Wales, Chunk Monkey offers solid pine furniture that’s practical, sturdy, and built to last, all at a great price point.


The range includes dining tables, coffee tables, benches, shelving and wine racks, with multiple sizes and finishes to suit any interior. Indoor pieces come with a lifetime guarantee and free UK delivery. A new garden collection extends the rustic aesthetic outdoors, pairing solid timber with galvanised steel legs for durability without compromising style.
