INTRODUCING NEPTUNE TRADE PROGRAMME
to make furniture that lasts for 100 years or more takes a stand against the throwaway culture that ’ s still so prevalent in other parts of the industry . With longevity at the forefront of everything they do , they use natural materials like solid oak and Carrara marble for their strength and timeless appeal , while firmly rejecting cheaper alternatives like MDF . Their approach to craftsmanship , meanwhile , draws inspiration from traditional cabinetmaking while harnessing the benefits of modern engineering .
Design professionals receive an exclusive discount on Neptune ’ s collections and other unique benefits …
Conceived in 1996 , Neptune ’ s very first design was a garden hammock – made around a kitchen table by the company ’ s two co-founders , John Sims-Hilditch and Giles Redman .

Prior to establishing their trade programme , Neptune has long proven itself a valuable resource for the design world . Their pledge
As well as taking a stand against throwaway culture , Neptune are also committed to reducing their impact on the environment in other ways . Their own production house is powered by energy efficient heat pumps and reuses and recycles as many by-products as possible . Where they can ’ t make things themselves , they partner with quality local suppliers wherever possible to keep their carbon footprint low . These include Bristol Weaving Mill , which is powered by 100 % renewable energy , and Marlborough Tiles , who are based down the road from their Wiltshire head office .
Reputation is integral to this company , which is evident at every stage of the product lifestyle . Their diligent , cohesive approach to service extends from the design and development teams based at their Wiltshire HQ through to the drivers who deliver the finished piece to your door . Their stores are further testament to their approach of doing things differently . Each one is designed to feel more like a home than a showroom – a place to relax and seek inspiration .
