New Product Development

Let’s talk NPD.

We have so many ideas and like most small businesses, we don’t always have the time and resources to dedicate to them, so it’s extra meaningful when a fully formed new product finally makes it out into the world.

2026 is a year of trying new things here at Earl & Rymer, following through on ideas that come up in discussions and would usually be shelved for one reason or another, and trusting ourselves. Creating a brand that reflects us, and excites us.

We have been working on something a bit different. Designed in-house and handmade in partnership with a local blacksmith, based here in Yorkshire, we have been sewing the seeds for a collection of bespoke lamps made from reclaimed metalwork and antique elements.

We got our first four lamps back a few weeks ago and would love to know what you think. Sold in pairs or as a single stand alone piece, we think they are just wonderful and would make a subtle impact in any room.

More are in the workshop as we speak and we are also looking to offer a selection of mix and match lampshades in the future…but let’s not get ahead of ourselves!

Sustainability doesn’t have to mean compromise

Sustainability doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality or luxury, in fact, the opposite!

Wool has long been accepted as an environmentally positive fibre choice with a number of benefits, such as being 100% natural, renewable, biodegradable and recyclable.

We are increasingly aware of our climate impact and are putting this at the heart of our approach, which affects the choice of materials we use to make our bespoke textile cushions.

From the raw material stage on a farm to driving the adoption of cleaner wool processes and technologies, wool offers the opportunity to create high quality, durable, comfortable and beautiful products that have been created with the land and biodiversity in mind.

As a natural fibre, wool does not shed microplastics which can negatively affect ocean health. Scientific studies show that wool is biodegradable in both land and marine environments.

Not to mention that it is thermo-regulating, is naturally fire-retardant, hypoallergenic, antibacterial, easy to care for, and can be repaired and enjoyed for years and years.

So there you have it; an antique textile fabric that has already lived several different lives but may otherwise not been used, a sustainable stuffing that rivals any man-made or feather filling on comfort and quality, hand-sewn in house. Stylish, luxurious, unique and sustainable 🌿
