The Story

George Smith is a leading British furniture brand which has become synonymous with quality craftsmanship and beautifully upholstered pieces made using responsibly sourced materials.

Our Creative Founder Emma Sims-Hilditch has a long-standing relationship with George Smith. It started 35 years ago when her parents passed down their George Smith sofa to her which now sits in the Garden Room of her home. Today, Sims Hilditch specifies George Smith furniture for clients’ homes, reflecting our commitment to creating high-quality interiors designed to last.

A shared commitment to creating long-lasting furniture and timeless interiors made George Smith a natural partner for our furniture collection. What began as a three-piece capsule has since evolved into an expanded range, now including bedroom furniture. Emma was particularly drawn to the brand's traditional approach to craftsmanship, preserving skills that might otherwise be lost.

Designed by Sims Hilditch and produced by George Smith, the collection reflects a mutual dedication to British craftsmanship, timeless design and sustainable, comfortable furniture - suited to both city and country homes.

The Making Process

George Smith uses responsibly sourced kiln-dried hardwood to build the custom-made frames for the Sims Hilditch Collection. Heavy steel coiled springs are tied into wide bands of interwoven jute webbing, providing balanced weight distribution for maximum comfort, and the seat cushions are hand-stuffed. The final detail is the fabric covering, expertly cut to the correct pattern and hand-stitched into position. We used natural fabrics for our collection, including linens and wools.

The frames of the Sims Hilditch Collection come with a 25-year guarantee and are tailor-made to each order, with more than 300 fabrics to choose from for the upholstery. The sizes and details of each piece can be adjusted by the expert George Smith makers to meet the needs of each client and each room, from a gentleman’s study to a large country sitting room.

We were privileged to visit the George Smith factory to see the pieces being made, choose the leg profiles and the fabric for the upholstery from their vast collection. Inspired by nature, the Sims Hilditch team pioneered the creative design behind each piece, working closely with George Smith to refine the concept and create a high-quality finish.

We are proud to have our collaborative furniture collection currently displayed in the window of the George Smith showroom on Kings Road. It is now available to buy on the George Smith website.
