WHO WE ARE
Demaus & Marsden Ltd started in 2021, when Antony and Rob chose to leave their engineering jobs behind and start a business together.
Design engineers by trade, they have a combined 20 years of professional experience across a range of roles and industries. Outside of this, both are keen craftsmen and tinkerers, having worked on numerous furniture projects, campervan self-builds and property renovations.
Based in their workshop on the outskirts of Bristol, they are unhurriedly building cabins, campervans, furniture and other beautiful interior pieces.

Antony Demaus
Antony grew up building things on his parents farm in rural Herefordshire before moving to London to study Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. He moved to Bristol after graduating and has worked at several renowned technology companies and design consultancies. Frustrated by too much time staring at a screen (and out the window!), Antony quit his job to cycle the length of North America. On his return he built a campervan for a friend and an idea was born. Other than cycling and carpentry, he is a keen windsurfer and surfer and can often be found shivering on windswept beaches around the South West.

Rob Marsden
Originally from a glass-making town in the North West, Rob moved to the Midlands to study Product Design & Manufacture at Loughborough University. He then worked as a design engineer at a number of household consumer goods and technology companies. He brings a keen eye for detail and a love of natural timber and joinery. Outside of the workshop, he enjoys cycling, camping, photography and BBC 6Music
WHAT WE DO
Demaus and Marsden started out to make beautiful and intelligent interiors, through the combination of technical expertise and carefully-chosen colour, materials and finishes.
We offer unique spaces to achieve a greater sense of balance and escape the stresses of life. We focus on the feel and flow of the space - craftsmanship, materials, design
WHERE WE ARE
The Demaus & Marsden workshop is nestled on the banks of the River Avon, in a rural farm estate on the outskirts of Bristol and Bath. Surrounded by goats, sheep, ducks, dogs, cattle and a young alpaca, our workshop is open to the public for consultations on request. We’d love to show you our latest work, pore over material samples and discuss your project requirements in our beautiful setting.
