PASSIONATE JOINERY DESIGNERS, CREATING BESPOKE FURNITURE & KITCHENS
Design duo Maria & Sam first met at university while studying furniture and product design.
Maria founded Clifford Design House in 2021 after a career shift following a COVID redundancy from her bar design role, where she had spent 8 years.
During that time, Sam earned a master’s in product design and spent 8 years at Dyson, where he rose to the position of senior design engineer. As the business grew, Sam joined forces with Maria in 2022 to take Clifford Design House to the next level.
Our vision is simple: to provide a seamless design service for trades, streamlining the design process all the way through to manufacturing.
We aim to be an extended part of your team—reliable and committed to delivering exceptional results.
Sam and Maria now call the quiet town of Malmesbury in Wiltshire home. In 2023, they celebrated their marriage and welcomed a mini Clifford into their family. At the heart of our company are values centered around family, and we’re here to make your bespoke joinery projects as stress-free as possible.
ABOUT
SAM CLIFFORD
I was fortunate to spend 8 amazing years as a Senior Design Engineer at Dyson's head office. This experience truly sharpened my skills in innovation and engineering, and I'm thrilled to bring this expertise to all our projects at Clifford Design House.
My academic journey includes achieving a Master's degree in Product and Furniture Design, which has deepened my love for crafting designs that are both practical and visually appealing.
I'm also proud to share that I was honoured with the Future Pioneer Award by the British Design Council. This recognition constantly inspires me to keep pushing the boundaries and uplift the entire industry.
ABOUT
MARIA CLIFFORD
My journey began with a passion for Product and Furniture Design at university, where I had the joy of meeting Sam, my my husband and partner at Clifford Design House.
Prior to that, I delved into the world of 3D design during my college years. After completing my education, I embarked on a remarkable 8-year career as a Bespoke Bar Designer & Studio Manager, collaborating on projects for well-known establishments such as; Soho House, The Ritz & Dishoom.
In 2021, I took the bold step of founding Clifford Design House. This decision was fueled by a redundancy during the pandemic, which only heightened my determination to establish my own business, providing support to others in a field that I'm truly passionate about.
