Meredew Furniture was a British furniture manufacturer that operated from the mid-20th century until the late 1980s. The company was based in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.
Meredew Furniture was established in 1946 by Frederick Meredith and Frank Drew, who combined their surnames to form the company's name. Initially, the company focused on producing high-quality wooden furniture, including dining sets, bedroom suites, and occasional pieces.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Meredew Furniture gained a reputation for its modern and stylish designs. The company embraced contemporary trends, offering furniture with clean lines, sleek forms, and functional features. They incorporated materials like teak and rosewood, which were popular during that era.
Meredew Furniture aimed to provide affordable yet well-crafted furniture to a wide range of customers. Their designs often reflected the prevailing styles of the time, such as mid-century modern, Scandinavian-inspired, and later, the influence of the British "G-Plan" furniture movement.
The company expanded its production facilities and showrooms, and their furniture became widely available in retail stores throughout the United Kingdom. Meredew Furniture gained a loyal customer base and was known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
However, in the 1980s, the company faced financial difficulties, like many British furniture manufacturers during that period. Meredew Furniture eventually went into liquidation in 1989, marking the end of its trading years.
Although the company no longer exists, vintage pieces of Meredew Furniture are still sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today. They are appreciated for their stylish designs, solid construction, and nostalgic appeal, reflecting a significant era in British furniture manufacturing
