Newman & Bright is a Manchester based manufacturer of upholstered seating.

Our two small workshops are staffed by time served craftsmen and our models are made from locally sourced fillings and hardwood timber frames. As one of the few remaining bespoke sofa manufacturers in the North West we can tailor our sofas to our customers’ needs and are small enough to give genuine care and attention to individual orders.  We likewise offer customers a complete after sales service to ensure they are completely satisfied with what we have sent them.

Art Deco:

We have recently designed and developed our own unique models based around the most popular design movements of the last 100 years – that of Art Deco and Art Nouveau. 

We are the only company in the UK specialising in this retro style and have had only positive feedback, more especially from hotels and interior designers.

Because we serve our customers directly we can guarantee a superior quality product at some of the lowest prices in the industry. Most of our models can be made for delivery within 6-7 weeks (with Art Deco at 10-12 weeks) and our frames and materials come with a complete 5-year guarantee*.

In order to bring customers a wider choice of models we have over many years partnered with a high end factory in Italy in offering the most upto date European style designs.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch as we are only too happy to speak with you and assist in any way we can.

We welcome all enquiries, and if it is a custom design you require ask to speak to Sam Neumann on 0161 667 9562.

As Seen On…

Experience

We have a long history of manufacturing experience and a close team of highly skilled craftsmen.  All our products are fully inspected before shipment and fully insured in case of damage en route.  We make a special effort to make sure our customers are completely satisfied after receiving their orders.  We are not just a business, rather we want to feel we have contributed in some way to the material welfare of our customers.

Made by hand

All our sofas & chairs are manufactured in our two workshops in the North of England peopled by specialised time served craftsmen. This provides a level of care and expertise that creates the highest quality furniture.  We have complete control of the manufacturing process giving us the flexibility to fulfil the individual requirements of our customers.

Leather Specialists

We have over 100 years experience in the leather trade via  our sister company, Neumann Leathers and can provide comprehensive advice as to what would be best for any particular job.  We  supply some of the finest leathers in Europe and can offer a wide variety of colours, textures and finishes.  

For those who prefer a fabric finish we likewise have access to a large range of high quality upholstery fabrics – from chenilles to velvets – sourced from some of the best UK suppliers

Bespoke Made

We are adaptable and make our sofas according to our customer’s needs. So if the standard model doesn’t fit, we can adjust depth, height and width and adjust fillings and trim and even alter the design as required. We ensure every aspect of the model selected is explained in detail to our customers so they know exactly what they will be getting as a finished product.  

We can even use our design team to create something unique – we are one of the only workshops that make one-off products to cater for something different from the run-of-the mill designs.

The Best Materials

We use only locally sourced hardwood frames, foams and springs- all of a tested high quality and guaranteed for 5 years.  For our commercial customers our materials, both leather and fabric come with Crib 5 fire retardant certification.
