JAMES BURLEIGH LIMITED

What JAMES BURLEIGH LIMITED does

James Burleigh Limited is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of contemporary contract furniture, operating from a single design and manufacturing facility in north-west London (4 Steele Road, NW10 7AR). The company produces a portfolio of approximately 15 product systems centred on tables (Bosa, Waldo/45, Osprey, EB18, Jura, Pil, Hettie, Joli, Coda), benches (Mylo, Eyot), credenzas (Jenson), and stools (Shug, Magnus), most available in standard and poseur-height variants. Core technology expertise lies in solid hardwood construction, laminate and veneer surfacing (using materials from Formica, Abet, Forbo), integrated power/data and cable management solutions, and sustainable inputs such as BioResin, coconut-husk padding, natural latex, and British wool.

The business operates a project-based B2B model: products are specified by architects and interior designers for commercial, educational, hospitality, public sector, and high-end residential projects, with contract dealers (Tsunami Axis, BOF, The Furniture Practice) handling procurement. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales on a quote basis, with customisation (size, finish, materials, tech integration) driving price points and multi-year project cycles. Named enterprise customers include the BBC, Channel 4, EY, PWC, Coca-Cola, Just Eat, Imperial College London, the LSE, Booking.com, Fidelity Investments, and Camden Council, with international project delivery documented in the Netherlands, Ireland, and Singapore. Marketing is anchored on annual participation in Clerkenwell Design Week and ICFF New York, supported by an extensive project case-study portfolio on the company website.
