Bespoke Furniture

We love the creative challenge of a bespoke commission.

 

Our commitment to design sustainably runs through our process.

 It starts with your needs, desires and logistical frameworks, to which we contribute our knowledge of woodcraft & the high quality and character of the English hardwoods we work with. With access to a variety of the finest timbers & stock, we provide you with a wide scope of finishes and effects to choose from: we consider your bespoke need as an opportunity to flex our technical skills! We equally take-on upcycling or repurposing projects, breathing new life into pieces with a history and patina.

 

We handcraft only from the finest materials and with the greatest care for functional ingenuity and finishing details, inspired by the raw material we have the privilege of working with.  Combining traditional woodworking techniques with the finest modern tools & expertise, we fashion items with integrity that delight – unique, innovative, subtle & beautiful fine articles that stand the test of time.

 

Our bespoke furniture design service draws upon sensitively considered materials & expert craftsmanship for investment or statement pieces that our clients cherish. Whether for interior or outdoor use, an adaptation of an existing design or something entirely new, we would be delighted to lend our skills to your project.

 

Below are examples of past commissions, which we are happy to replicate or revise to suit your project.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

This Swing Seat was inspired by its owners & its setting. A beautiful detailed, classical two-child swing-seat it was handcrafted from Teak wood so it may pass down through the generations. The seat has no less than 200 (6mm diameter) Teak dowels set into the seat top, each carefully rounded over and left proud to provide grip for the little ones’ bums. It is hand- engraved with scroll work reading: ‘Higher Daddy Higher' on one leading edge, and ‘Higher Mummy Higher’ on the other. Seven years later it still looks as great as the day the varnish dried! 

This design came to inspire a more price-sensitive range of Solid Oak Swing Seats sold in our SHOP, which perform equally well and last just as long.
