Not your average
design studio.

Mancs Stuff was built from the ground up in Oldham by a craftsman, author, and artist who believes design should have soul — not just style. We make furniture that lasts, art that means something, and brands that look like the businesses behind them.

We're the same people who restored the bench in your local café, wrote 7 books, and are currently attempting a Guinness World Record with 13 hand-built lunar moon drums. Creativity isn't a job title here — it's just how we live.

Our story What we do

What
we do.

Three disciplines. One creative vision. All made by hand in Greater Manchester.

01

Furniture & product design

Restored, upcycled and bespoke handcrafted furniture. Each piece is one of a kind, built to last, and made with proper northern craft.

From £85
02

Artwork & illustration

Original paintings, limited prints and commissions with real character. Art that looks like it came from somewhere — because it did.

From £25
03

Logos & brand identity

Honest brand work built around who you actually are. No templates, no recycled ideas — just your story turned into something visual.

From £150

Christopher Leece curated this extraordinary collection and is submitting a Guinness World Record application for the what is believed to be the world's first complete set of 13 lunar moon drums (Guinness application pending adjudication) — helping bring this remarkable work to a global audience.

"Design should look like it was made by someone who cares — not by someone who just knows the software."
