Goldfinger

An award-winning design, build and teaching platform transforming reclaimed materials into sustainable homewares.

Goldfinger is an award-winning social enterprise showing high-end design and joinery can be good for people and the planet.

At Goldfinger HQ, they think up stunning designs for furniture and homewares using upcycled, reclaimed materials. A ‘from tree to table’ manifesto dedicated to thoughtful and sustainable craftsmanship guides their work, as does a commitment to building a circular economy.

Meet The Founder

Marie Carlisle is the CEO and co-founder of Goldfinger, which opened in 2013 inside London’s Trellick Tower. Fun fact: the tower was designed by architect and Bond villain inspiration Ernö Goldfinger, which sparked the idea for the brand name. Marie and the team took the literal meaning as inspiration: the material they touch, they turn to gold.

Marie swapped jobs in marketing for the likes of LVMH and Estée Lauder for a purpose-led career with Goldfinger, partly driven by her love for the natural world and a desire to stop wasteful practices. She’s been at the helm as CEO since 2017, overseeing the social enterprise go from strength to strength.
