After Noah is a completely unique family and friends-run UK-based furniture, home, restoration and toy company, situated in the heart of London at the Angel, Islington. Established in 1990, it was founded by husband and wife team, Zoë Candlin, a textile designer and Matthew Crawford an antique furniture restorer, who set-out to blend vintage and contemporary living in a welcoming home setting. When visiting us, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable team and find yourself lost amongst the mid-century, vintage furniture (which has been restored entirely in our own on-site workshop) alongside more contemporary, timeless pieces for house and home and complemented by our traditional adjoining toyshop. While there, you can visit our garden and chat to our workshop team, maybe even discussing a project of your own that you’d like us to take a look at. We work with hundreds of suppliers and strive to find those who are like-minded and share a passion for fair trade, sustainability and environmental concerns, that should rightly be of importance to all of us: our team, our customers, our neighbours and our community locally and at large.
