At Burgess Furniture, we’ve always believed that great design and craftsmanship travel well. From our London beginnings back in 1959, we’ve grown into one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of hospitality furniture, trusted by venues in more than 50 countries.
Our story began with a single order of banquet chairs for London’s May Fair Hotel, followed quickly by the Metropole in Monte Carlo. Since then, our furniture has become a familiar sight in illustrious locations, from the QE2’s maiden voyage, the first cross-channel hovercraft built by British Rail, Westin Stamford in Singapore, Twickenham Stadium, Wembley, Epsom Racecourse, the Sofitel at Heathrow Terminal 5, the Marriott Marquis in Dubai, to iconic European hotels such as The Ritz in Paris and Pera Palace in Istanbul. This impressive lineup is only a fraction of our global footprint and dedication to design excellence, functional durability, and consistency.
A Global Network of Partners
What makes Burgess unique is not just our heritage, but our reach. We work alongside an established network of trusted partners worldwide, ensuring that wherever you are, you can access Burgess quality and expertise. This network means we can provide local support and a deeper understanding of regional needs, all without compromising on the standards our customers know us for.
Our international growth has been especially strong in the Middle East, a region experiencing a rapid rise in luxury hospitality and large-scale development. To meet this demand, we established a dedicated office in Dubai, giving our clients and partners the opportunity to experience our collections first-hand.
Growth in Dubai and Beyond
Dubai has become a hub for world-class hospitality, and we are proud to play a role in shaping the region’s event and hotel interiors. From conference halls to grand ballrooms, Burgess products are designed to deliver on both practicality and elegance with qualities that are highly valued in a market that expects nothing less than the best.
One standout example is our work with the Grand Plaza Mövenpick Hotel in Dubai Media City, where our chairs, tables, platforms, and lecterns were chosen to bring flexibility and style to a variety of spaces. Projects like this demonstrate not only the strength of our designs but also the trust we’ve built with clients across the Middle East.
As the luxury furniture market in the region continues to expand, Burgess is well-positioned to grow alongside it, offering sustainable, long-lasting solutions for venues of every size.
Sustainability at the Core
While our global reach is important, so too is the way we operate. At Burgess, sustainability is central to our design and manufacturing. We are ISO 14001 certified, a reflection of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact across every stage of production.
From using recyclable aluminium and responsibly sourced wood to investing in low-impact finishes and adhesives, we ensure our products are as kind to the planet as they are enduring in use. We also design with longevity in mind, ensuring our furniture is built to last. Many of our ranges allow for refurbishment, enabling frames and materials to be reused rather than replaced.
These efforts have not gone unnoticed. Burgess is proud to be recognised by the HARP (Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement) Initiative and has been awarded a committed sustainability rating from EcoVadis, one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings. This recognition reflects our ongoing dedication to responsible sourcing, ethical production, and continuous improvement.
By embedding these principles into everything we do, we strengthen our reputation as a brand that cares as much about the future as we do about function and form.
Looking Ahead
From London to Dubai, Paris to Singapore, Burgess Furniture continues to set the standard for hospitality furniture worldwide. Our growth in the Middle East is just another chapter in our ongoing story of innovation, partnership, and sustainability.
Wherever your venue is, and whatever your needs may be, Burgess is ready to deliver furniture that brings people together in comfort and style with pieces that not only stand the test of time but also reflect a shared commitment to a more sustainable future.
