Warren Evans Love Good Wood

Warren Evans 14 (© Warren Evans)© Warren Evans

Warren Evans’ love of wood and woodwork comes from his boat building days in childhood. His desire to design and create beautiful and useful objects from wood is what led him to building beds. Now, 37 years later, Warren Evans is a long established brand committed to personally bringing you the finest in hand crafted beds and furniture. To do this, Warren believes that choosing ‘good wood’ is key and that’s why he builds his beds and furniture from FSC certified wood.


Warren Evans beds are made in their ethical workshop in Walthamstow, London. Their skilled carpenters use traditional craftsmanship for tried and tested durability along with leading technology to minimise waste and toxins. Forest Stewardship Council certified wood is carefully selected for sustainability and mortice and tenon joints used for strength. They were the first UK bed makers to be FSC certified and over the years they have encouraged their entire supply chain to use FSC certified wood.

Here’s how a Warren Evans bed is made, from wood to bed.
