From the famously independent-minded town of Frome in Somerset, Somer is staging a revolution in furniture design. Founded by joiner and carpenter Will Floyd-Maclean, Somer produces freestanding modular kitchen-cabinet systems designed to adapt and crafted to endure. Made using solid timber, and finished with natural paints, oils and stains, Somer’s cabinets and shelving celebrate texture and materiality and are free from toxins and pollutants.
The freestanding system is engineered to be demountable, interchangeable and extendable, so Somer kitchens can move and modify in step with the changing lives and spaces of their owners. Reparable, reusable and recyclable, they embody a circular, cradle-to-cradle model of manufacture, bringing lasting value to the space and contributing to a more sustainable future. By offering an alternative to the single-use, wasteful world of the fitted kitchen, the Somer team is laying down a much-needed challenge to throwaway consumer culture – and making beautiful furniture in the process.

All of us at Zetteler are inspired by those who have vision and energy to take on prevailing paradigms and propose a better way, and Somer embodies that perfectly. We’re supporting Will and the team as they build their brand and shake up the kitchen and the furniture industry.
