Readers' Choice Awards 2026: Best Importer

“Winning the Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Importer is something we are incredibly proud of, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for us,” begins the supplier … 

“To receive recognition from our customers and industry partners makes this award especially meaningful,” Bluebone continues. “It is a reminder that the passion, care, and hard work we put into everything we do is appreciated, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

“What really makes us proud is the amazing group of people behind the award. Every member of our team contributes to making our business what it is today, and this recognition truly belongs to all of them.

“A special thank you goes to our fantastic team in Indonesia. Their dedication, knowledge and enthusiasm are at the heart of everything we create. Over many years they have built close relationships with an extensive network of talented small suppliers, family workshops and specialist manufacturers. These are partnerships built on trust, shared values, and a genuine love of craftsmanship.

“Because we work so closely together, we’re able to develop collections that are unique to us. We don’t simply buy products – we work alongside our suppliers from the earliest design ideas through to the finished piece, refining every detail along the way. It’s this collaborative approach that allows us to create collections that combine beautiful design with exceptional quality and authentic craftsmanship.

“Attention to detail has always been one of our guiding principles. Whether it’s the choice of materials, the finish of a piece, or the smallest design feature, we believe these details make all the difference. Our Indonesian team oversees every stage of production with great care, ensuring that the products arriving with our customers are made to the highest standards. We are incredibly proud of the skill and commitment shown by everyone involved, and we know that quality starts with the people who make it happen.

“The timing of this award made it even more special as it came during what was a fantastic few days at our open showroom event that ran to coincide with the Manchester Furniture Show. It was a real pleasure to welcome customers to Our Home, just five miles from Manchester Central. Visitors explored our latest collections and were among the first to preview our new autumn launches.

“The response to our autumn collection was incredibly encouraging, and it was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm for the new designs. It gives us real confidence that the months of planning, designing, sourcing and refining have resulted in collections that our customers will be excited to offer in the seasons ahead.

“Winning this award, while enjoying such a successful showroom event, is a reminder that our greatest strength lies in the relationships we have built – with our dedicated team in Indonesia, our talented suppliers and manufacturers, and the loyal customers who continue to support us year after year.

“We can’t wait to share what’s next, and will be exhibiting at both the Irish Furniture and Home Show (IFHS) in Dublin, and INDX Furniture, Solihull, in August, so we hope to see you there,” Bluebone concludes.
