DUNKERTON was founded by award winning British Furniture Designer, Aaron Dunkerton; who first conceptualised the Clothes Horse design whilst studying at London's Kingston University. On graduating he was recognised by the Crafts Council and shortlisted for their New Designers, Future Pioneer Award. Soon after he collaborated with clothing brand Jigsaw on one of their nationwide Spring Summer window installations. The piece was later picked up by Wallpaper* Magazine who commissioned an iteration for their Milan Design Week, Handmade Exhibition. 

Aaron has previously designed for British furniture retailer John Lewis & Partners, and is currently the Lead Designer of M&S’s Furniture Department. His work has been recognised by LivingETC, winning one of their awards for his Cabinetry design, as well as having his work featured in ELLE Decoration, House & Garden and Dezeen.

When it comes to design, Aaron’s love for problem solving and his inquisitive nature informs the way he works. Intelligently applying his knowledge of commercial furniture design, and eye for simplistic luxury, to bring a sense of sophistication to the everyday, which inspired him to launch DUNKERTON in 2024.
