Biography

Singular Furniture is a furniture venture based in Newtongrange, in the county of Midlothian, the home of the National Mining Museum Scotland.

Established by Rachel Archibald, a furniture designer, who creates custom-made pieces with an artistic flavour.

Attracted by the unusual, materials not readily found in furniture are sometimes used in Rachel's pieces, like recycled bicycle inner tubes.

The environment is very important and to that end, the plan is to use materials that are easily recycled at end of life, or are created from waste or recycled materials that can go on to be recycled again. A good example of this is a new replacement material for traditional upholstery foam, it is not only better for the environment but for health and well being too.
