Jennifer Newman

What Jennifer Newman does

Jennifer Newman Studio Ltd designs and manufactures bold, adaptable powder-coated aluminium outdoor furniture and mobile planters intended for use in extreme weather conditions. Founded in 2007 by Jennifer Newman, the company operates from a showroom and headquarters at Clerkenwell Workshops in London, with manufacturing at its Bedfordshire workshop. The product portfolio spans tables (Form, Linear, Edge, Trestle, Angle, Café, Ping-Pong), benches (A-Frame, Alfresco), stools (Cube, Triangle, Splash, Huddle), and planters (Drum, Box), unified around a core technology proposition of wind-resistant, all-aluminium construction using hand welding and laser cutting, finished with a fine-textured ultra-durable powder coat available in unlimited RAL Classic colours plus JN standard colours.

The company's engineering emphasis is on durability and weather-resistance: products are designed to remain outdoors year-round without covers, maintenance, or bolting down, with shaped geometry and substantial weight specifically engineered to prevent wind uplift on exposed terraces. Several designs (A-Frame Demountable, Hex, Trestle) are demountable for transport through narrow access points. Manufacturing uses recycled aluminium and the company positions its UK operations as low carbon-footprint. Jennifer Newman has secured installations at major enterprise clients including Google, Meta, TikTok, Nike, McKinsey & Company, Coca-Cola, Schroders, BBC Wales, Waitrose, UAL London College of Fashion, Bruntwood, Sadler's Wells, and IPG Mediabrands, alongside residential customers.

Revenue is generated through direct sales of made-to-order furniture priced individually based on specifications, colour, and configuration. The go-to-market is sales-led via email ([email protected]) and telephone enquiries, with showroom visits by appointment only at Clerkenwell. The company operates direct trade and residential channels in the UK, and manufactures in the USA under licence for North American distribution. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are quoted on a unit-pricing basis. The business is family-owned, bootstrapped, and operated by Jennifer Newman with her sons and husband.
