About Us
Abode was started in 1975 when the founder left his job in dairy farming and moved to South Norfolk and in doing so turned his woodworking hobby into his profession. Initially the company started by producing turned wooden components for other furniture makers and making a small range of furniture in a small farm based workshop. The furniture was sold to local customers and at specialist craft shows around the country.
The business grew steadily and in 1996 our Norwich store opened in an impressive architect designed building in the historic city centre. We also expanded the range of furniture that we sold and added upholstery and decorative homeware items to the range. From this unique store and via the Abodedirect.co.uk website we currently send furniture all over the country from Inverness to Truro.
We have continued to develop our own furniture ranges and moved to larger premises in 1999 and expanded again in 2004 to give us much greater workshop and warehouse space. Our Quadra Oak range was launched in 2002 and has quickly grown to become our best selling design.
The Abode web site has been created to help our customers from all over the country see more of our furniture from the convenience of their own homes and enable us to keep you to date with new items, special offers and promotions.
