Umbrella Furniture joins More Than a Building as a Gold Member
Who is Umbrella Furniture?
Umbrella Furniture provides tailored furniture solutions to the architectural and design community, acting as a trusted extension of practice teams across complex FF&E requirements. As specialist furniture consultants, they deliver end-to-end services spanning consultancy, procurement and installation, supporting multi-supplier projects with precision and clarity.
Product independence is central to Umbrella’s offer. Untied to any single manufacturer, the team can search the global marketplace to identify best-in-class products that align with the design brief - no compromise, no restriction, simply the right solution. From desking and seating to bespoke, breakout and executive furniture, Umbrella provides fully costed FF&E schedules, BIM data, tender support and open-book reporting to ensure transparency and best value for clients.
Design sits at the heart of the business. Umbrella understands the critical relationship between well-considered environments and user wellbeing, and works closely with architects and designers to bring their vision to life. Known for their open and honest approach, they prioritise strong working relationships, clear communication and collaborative problem-solving - qualities that consistently deliver outstanding project outcomes.
A specialist division of the Wagstaff Group, Umbrella combines the agility of an independent, privately owned business with the financial stability, heritage and infrastructure of a group with over 120 years’ history. The result is a confident, responsive partner capable of delivering complex furniture projects with technical expertise and commercial assurance.
