The Linley brand:
Linley is a British luxury design company, founded in 1985 by David Armstrong-Jones (2nd Earl of Snowdon, styled as Viscount Linley until 2017), who is professionally known as David Linley. The company designs and manufactures high-end furniture, bespoke interiors, luxury gifts and accessories. It also provides services like interior design and fitted cabinetry.
David Linley trained in fine woodworking and design, so the brand has roots in traditional craftsmanship. A signature part of Linley’s style is marquetry (inlay of different woods/veneers), using exotic and fine woods (walnut, Macassar ebony, satinwood, etc.), as well as hidden compartments, playful details. Designs often balance tradition and modernity: classic forms and techniques, but with creative/innovative twists in design.
