Born from New Start Highland’s vision to unite sustainability, style and opportunity, Unique Ness gives pre-loved furniture a meaningful second life.

Since its founding in 2011, the brand has helped New Start Highland divert more than 11,000 tonnes of furniture from waste, carefully hand-selecting donated and often overlooked pieces, and transforming them into one-of-a-kind creations.

More than a studio, Unique Ness is a vibrant creative community where skilled artisans and those they mentor find purpose through craft. For people facing crisis or seeking a new direction, the process of restoration becomes a pathway to confidence, healing and hope. 

"Unique Ness, and my workshop in particular, is a safe haven, a place for me to express myself creatively and undoubtedly is at the centre of my improved mental wellbeing. I can now look to the future with positivity and hope, with a goal that one day I will be able to use my experiences to help others on a similar path." - Patrick Mills, Unique Ness Artisan
