The story so far
It started with a hammock. Made around a kitchen table, our first-ever product was stitched with careful hands, a trusty sewing machine and a large dose of optimism.
A different perspective
Over the years, we’ve been trying to come up with the best way to say, “Hello, we’re Neptune, and this is who we are.” It’s easy to learn that we’re an interiors brand – our stores and our website will tell you that in no time. But while our designs are a huge part of who we are, ‘the why’ and ‘the how’ almost matter more than ‘the what’. It’s easy to tell you what we do, it’s harder to explain why. That’s where our philosophy, a different perspective, comes in. Three words that sum up our entire reason for being.

Make it stand out.
Every one of us cares. About everything really, be it the materials we use or simply about always doing the right thing. Each of us brings a different talent to the table, and together we make beautiful furniture, kitchens, upholstery and all the little things that help to give a home soul.
Happiness by design
We believe in the power of good design. Such an unbelievable amount of thought goes into every one of our kitchen cabinets because we want them to outperform your expectations.
Our way of thinking always starts with ‘people first’. We know what it feels like to have a family, to work hard, to contend with life’s ups and downs, and so when we make, we try to come up with things that will make life easier and better. That’s why we always carve out the time to imagine a day in the life of one of our kitchens to ask ourselves “but what else could it do?” We want it to be better than you ever imagined.
Good design isn’t solely about how beautiful something looks. It runs much deeper than that. It’s about how intuitively something behaves too; understanding what you need and being there, waiting, as and when you need it. And it’s about how that concept then comes together with all the things that follow below.
That’s the truth of good design.
Chawton
Chawton is our make-it-your-own bookcase-meets-dresser – take your pick from ready-to-go configurations or combine any of the pieces to create your own, bespoke storage in store.
Carefully crafted from the same materials as our kitchen cabinets - oak, tulip and hardwood ply - Chawton has plenty in common with Chichester, Suffolk, Henley and Limehouse. but one considerable difference too. It’s freestanding.
20 years on, not much has changed really. The hammock has evolved into a very select collection of beautiful furniture and accessories, and a few pairs of hands have become hundreds, but the care, the commitment, the love and even that kitchen table very much remains. We adore natural materials and we respect traditional craft as much as modern making. From kitchens to bathrooms, from natural oak to hand-painted finishes, from lighting to florals, and from dressers to beds, this is our whole home concept.
We hope you enjoy it.
“HOW WE THINK
We’re big thinkers at Neptune. We think, and we think, and we think some more before we actually ‘do’. We don’t believe in plodding, but neither do we believe in rushing. We’re somewhere between the tortoise and the hare.”
