Innerspace Cheshire

What Innerspace Cheshire does

Innerspace Cheshire Ltd is a UK-based, privately held designer and manufacturer of bespoke biophilic and architectural interior finishing products, founded in 2006 and operating from a single workshop and headquarters in Whitchurch, Cheshire with a 14-person team of makers, joiners, installers and management. The company produces four product ranges: Biophilia (preserved moss panels under the Naturemoss brand, preserved foliage including Natureverde and Barkwall, and a Modular acoustic panel system), Timber (CNC-cut Formdesign panels on acoustic felt, customisable Slatdesign slat walls, Shou Sugi Ban-style Charred timber planks, and Staves room dividers), Urban (Woollywall acoustic woodwool panels and hand-crafted Brickwall plaster brick panels), and Pegboard (the Ynghyd multifunctional storage system). Core technology centres on CNC shaping for custom panel patterns, preserved foliage processing that yields maintenance-free natural materials, and traditional Japanese charring techniques, all manufactured made-to-order in-house.

The business model is project-based bespoke manufacturing sold primarily through informal specification relationships with UK interior designers, architects, and named fit-out firms (3-Space, Cann Creative, The Jones, Echospace). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per project on a one-time, made-to-order basis. Revenue is derived from one-off commercial fit-out installations rather than recurring contracts. End-customers span more than 20 named enterprises across at least a dozen industries (insurance, aviation, healthcare, education, technology, real estate, hospitality, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, wellness, security, logistics), with no single customer disclosed as material. Channels include a designer community programme ('Cake and Learn'), an extensive case study library on the company website, and direct sales outreach.

The company has no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and operates as a closely held private limited company under founder-led management (Managing Director Ian & Penny, Sales Director Richard, Operations Director Sam). There is no AI, mobile app, API, or disclosed recurring revenue component; the operating model is craft manufacturing and project installation with UK-wide geographic reach and one confirmed overseas installation in Houston.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Satterfield Walsh Staves: Custom timber slat wall and room-divider specialist serving commercial interiors in North America. Comparable to Innerspace's Staves room-divider and Slatdesign product ranges on form factor and customer use case.

Direct peers

• Offecct: Swedish manufacturer of acoustic design furniture and wall/ceiling panels with a strong sustainability positioning. Comparable to Innerspace's acoustic and biophilic product lines serving commercial interiors and specifying architects.
• Biotecture: UK-based specialist in living walls and biophilic interior installations. Closest direct peer to Innerspace's Naturemoss and Natureverde preserved-foliage offering, with overlap on commercial fit-out customers and similar product category.
• BAUX: Swedish manufacturer of acoustic wood-wool panels and acoustic tiles for commercial interiors. Directly competes with Innerspace's Woollywall range in the architectural acoustic-panel category.
• Troldtekt: Danish producer of acoustic wood-wool ceiling and wall panels for offices, education and healthcare. Comparable to Innerspace's Woollywall and Slatdesign acoustic offerings, targeting the same biophilic/acoustic specification channel.
• Greenleaf IPS: UK installer of living green walls and moss walls for commercial interiors. Competes with Innerspace's Naturemoss/Natureverde range in the UK biophilic specification market.
• Lockerbie & Co: UK bespoke joinery and architectural millwork manufacturer serving commercial fit-outs. Closely comparable to Innerspace's Slatdesign, Charred timber and Formdesign custom millwork capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Steelcase: Global office furniture and workplace interior solutions provider. Much larger incumbent that competes indirectly through its own architectural wall and acoustic product lines sold into the same enterprise and designer channels Innerspace targets.
• Ambius: Global interior landscaping and biophilic design business (part of Rentokil Initial). Overlaps with Innerspace's preserved-foliage wall offering but operates at much larger scale and as a service-led provider rather than custom manufacturer.

Regional players

• Planteria: UK interior planting and biophilic design provider for offices, hotels and retail. Overlaps with Innerspace's biophilic customer base but primarily delivers living-plant solutions rather than preserved-foliage products.
