Allermuir was founded in the early 1970s by the Vaghetti family in Northwest England, establishing itself as a design‑led manufacturer of contemporary furniture. In 2005, Allermuir was acquired by The Senator Group, a leading UK contract furniture manufacturer known for investing in R&D, design, and sustainability. Over time, Allermuir has grown from its British roots to serve international markets, producing furniture for offices, breakout areas, dining, and public spaces, combining modern design, craftsmanship, and hybrid functionality.

The life expectancy of commercial office furniture depends heavily on quality, material, usage, and maintenance. Generally:

• Chairs tend to last about 5‑10 years, depending on frequency of use and how well they’re looked after. Desks, storage units, and less heavily used furniture often have longer lifespans, commonly 10‑15 years or more.
• Upholstered or heavily trafficked pieces may need replacing sooner if wear, fading, damage, or discomfort begins to affect usability or appearance. With good care and refurbishment, office furniture can often run at the longer end of its expected life. All Allermuir furniture is supplied with a minimum of 5 years’ manufacturer’s warranty.

Allermuir is a brand under The Senator Group, which acquired Allermuir in 2005. Allermuir continues to operate with its own design identity, creating contemporary furniture for offices, public spaces, homes, and beyond.
