About us
Three decades of crafting exceptional workspaces
Our story
Zhengyegroup was founded in 1994 by Sebastian Thornbury, a furniture designer frustrated by the lack of quality workspace solutions for professionals working from home.
What began as a small workshop in Clerkenwell has grown into a respected name in bespoke furniture, serving clients across the United Kingdom and Europe. Yet our philosophy remains unchanged: quality materials, timeless design, and meticulous craftsmanship.
We believe your workspace should inspire rather than merely accommodate. Every piece we create or curate is selected for its ability to enhance both productivity and aesthetic pleasure.
Our philosophy
We reject the disposable culture of modern furniture. Our pieces are designed to last decades, improving with age rather than deteriorating.
This requires careful material selection. We work exclusively with FSC-certified woods, full-grain leathers, and recyclable metals. Our finishes are non-toxic and environmentally responsible.
But sustainability isn't just environmental—it's also economic. A well-made desk that lasts 50 years is more sustainable than a cheap alternative replaced every five years.
Quality first
We never compromise on materials or construction. Every piece represents our reputation.
Personal service
From consultation to installation, you work directly with our team, not a call center.
Built to last
Our furniture is designed for generations, not seasons. Timeless design, structural integrity.
Responsible sourcing
Sustainable materials, ethical production, minimal waste. Beauty with conscience.
