Bespoke Commissions
Every piece is designed and crafted specifically for you. From initial consultation to final installation, we work together to create furniture that perfectly fits your space, style, and story. Each commission is quoted individually after a short conversation - no obligation.
How We Work Together
Every Commission Journey is Different
Whether you have a clear vision, a rough idea, or a challenging requirement, we guide you through a collaborative process that honours both your needs and the wood's character.
You Have an Idea
Perhaps you've sketched something, seen a piece you admire, or have specific dimensions in mind. We start with your vision and work together to refine it, considering wood selection, joinery techniques, and how the piece will live in your space.
What we provide:
- • Design development sketches
- • Wood species recommendations
- • Technical feasibility review
- • Detailed cost breakdown
You've Seen Something You Like
Show us photos, magazine clippings, or even furniture from elsewhere. We'll analyse what appeals to you and create something inspired by those elements whilst making it uniquely yours - and suited to the wood we select together.
What we provide:
- • Design interpretation and adaptation
- • Scale and proportion adjustments
- • Material upgrade suggestions
- • Personalisation options
You Have a Challenge
Unusual spaces, specific accessibility needs, extreme durability requirements, or complex functionality? We specialise in solving difficult briefs through traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful engineering.
What we provide:
- • Problem-solving consultation
- • Custom joinery solutions
- • Specialist wood selection
- • Engineering and stress testing
