The finest furniture designer of our time

In 1976 Mark turned his attention to revolutionising domestic furniture. Why should it not be more exciting, more stylish, more innovative? He introduced his ideas in a totally new concept for domestic kitchens and his original design engendered the 'Country Living Style', which has become so distinctive throughout the world.

An example of a design feature, which became important in Mark's early kitchen furniture, is the fishtail frieze introduced in 1978. The frieze depicts the ancient symbol of the fish from the miracle of the loaves and fishes and he designed the arch and cloverleaf motif as a complement to it. These distinctive features have become a vocabulary of good taste, copied throughout the industry.

Now with a lifetime's experience and over four generations of furniture makers behind him, his work is recognised worldwide as being the best in quality, design and workmanship. His new designs are breathtaking, a perfect blend of hi-tech understanding, ergonomic research and emotional expression that only Mark Wilkinson has succeeded in achieving.

The look of his furniture evokes a very special feeling because it is designed with soul inextricably linked to everything that is best about wood combined with everything that is best about life.The Company that bears Mark's name is based in Wiltshire and is widely represented throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. With its immense wealth of design, it is recognised as being at the forefront of its industry.
