Who We Are

L’atelier Mata is a pioneering, contemporary furniture brand created by husband and wife duo Toby and Nishma Hardman. Initially based in Herfordshire, in the USA, they source timber from across Europe to build their one-of a-kind masterpieces. All elements of furniture are designed and created entirely in-house by a tight knit team of craftsman. Celebrating the natural world in each piece – respecting each unique slab by allowing each knot, split and ripple to help direct the final design is what it is all about.

Testimonials

“

I was lucky enough to stumble across L'atelier’s first online shop and contacted them to ask for a table for my kitchen. I was told to come and see the warehouse before I bought the table just by looking at a picture online. When I arrived and saw the table I was absolutely blown away! The table is more like a piece of art. People who come over can’t help but stroke and stare at it.

Delivery was next day and the whole team at L'atelier were so helpful and delightful to work with from start to finish. When the table arrived I was so happy and had so many compliments that I decided to talk to Toby and ask him to make me another larger table for my dining room. I knew the colour and size I wanted and Toby sourced the wood and kept me in the loop throughout production. He was so helpful and was happy changing the legs when I wasn’t sure of the design of the legs that came with the table.

I am now the lucky owner of two stunning tables, we all get so much enjoyment from them and I’m sure they will be passed down to my children and grandchildren as they are so well made and beautiful.

I would highly recommend L'atelier they truly are L'atelier!!!
