HUSK opens second kitchen showroom in Bristol

British kitchen brand HUSK has opened its second Bristol showroom, showcasing the company’s commitment to affordable customisation, British manufacturing and low-impact design. Located on the historic Christmas Steps, in the heart of the city centre, the new space brings together traditional craft and contemporary design while championing local partnerships and sustainably sourced materials. 

Founded to bridge the gap between high-street affordability and high-end bespoke joinery, HUSK elevates accessible cabinetry from suppliers such as IKEA and Howdens with made-to-order doors, cover panels, worktops and hardware, offering clients a bespoke finish at a more achievable price point. 

“From day one, the goal was to make beautifully made kitchens more accessible,” said co-founder Dave Young. “Clients plan the layout with a mainstream supplier, then we craft the finishing elements that deliver the quality, detail and individuality of a bespoke kitchen.” 

The opening also marks a significant expansion of HUSK’s footprint in the city. The new site not only houses the showroom but also includes additional office and meeting spaces across the upper floors, creating a central hub for the design and operations teams. This growth complements HUSK’s existing workshop, located only a few miles away and where all joinery continues to be manufactured here in the UK. 

The new space distils HUSK’s design philosophy: flexible customisation, considered design and a deep respect for British craftsmanship. Visitors will find shaker-style kitchen designs, timber doors made from locally sourced hardwoods alongside minimalist matt finishes, refined textures and bold hardware choices. A balance of contemporary design, gently grounded by classic references. 

Collaboration plays an important role in the evolution of HUSK’s collections. In 2024, the brand partnered with Another Country, the award-winning British furniture brand celebrated for its pared-back aesthetic and commitment to natural materials. The collaboration is a refined, contemporary interpretation of HUSK’s classic V-Groove design, enriched with earthy tones and tactile, crafted detailing inspired by both studios’ West Country heritage. The resulting collection is to be displayed in the new Bristol showroom. 

The brand will also debut a forthcoming collaboration with RO Projects, a Bristol-based design studio founded by Rosa Roig-Fiol and Anna Kidel. Rooted in shared values of provenance, transparency and local making, the collection champions a timeless design aesthetic elevated with bold colours. 

All HUSK’s kitchen fronts are designed and made by hand in their Bristol workshop by a skilled team of makers and designers. Each kitchen is made to order, reducing waste and allowing for thoughtful material selection at every stage. Traditional joinery techniques are combined with modern technology to enhance production efficiency while minimising environmental impact. HUSK works exclusively with responsibly sourced timber, prioritising FSC-certified wood and uses water-based finishes as standard, with manufacturing by-products recycled or repurposed wherever possible. 

“Sustainability isn’t a bolt-on for us — it’s embedded in every stage of our process,” Young adds. 

The design experience is highly collaborative, encouraging clients to explore finishes, concepts and layout solutions in person. The result is kitchens that feel personal, deeply considered and built to last – made locally by skilled craftsman with a lower environmental footprint. 

As interest in British manufacturing and responsible design continues to grow, HUSK is redefining modern craft making it accessible, sustainable and designed with integrity.
