Local handmade furniture. Crafted in Newcastle upon Tyne.
At Mema, we are woodworkers based in Newcastle upon Tyne committed to making high end furniture, using solid hardwoods only. By working closely with a single material, we deepen our understanding of its character—allowing us to create beautifully balanced and enduring pieces.
Thoughtful design is at the heart of everything we make. Our process combines precision and intuition—using modern machinery with traditional hand tools we shape each piece until it feels just right.
We’re driven by a desire to make furniture that lasts. With each new piece, we aim to refine, improve, and build better. Blending lasting comfort with timeless style, our pieces are made to live with you for generations.

Toki Dining Chair
The Toki Dining Chair is a standout piece reflecting Mema’s approach to design — bold, refined, and built to last. Carefully iterated over time, the steam bent backrest meets clean lines in a way that feels effortless. Dine in comfort, or transform an empty space, the Toki Dining Chair is beautiful to look at and wonderful to sit in.
