Do you provide assistance with design, or do we need to supply my own plans?
We work in both ways. Some clients come to us with production-ready drawings, while others look to our team to develop the initial concept. Whether we work independently or alongside your design team, we ensure that every detail meets your specifications.
How do you ensure the project stays on budget and on schedule?

For Residential Clients
I'm looking for custom furniture for my home - what is the process?
We begin with a consultation at your home to understand your vision and the space.

Our clients often tell us that the process is much more enjoyable than they expected.
Do you work with interior designers?

Do you handle the entire design process?
We are happy to handle the entire process or collaborate with your interior designer or architect to bring your vision to life.
How can I visualise the design before production?
We offer detailed visual mock-ups and 3D renderings during the design phase to help you see how your project will look before it is made.
Do you offer aftercare services for bespoke furniture?
We will give you all the information you need to keep your pieces in perfect condition. Our team is always available if you need advice on caring for your furniture - we want it to be part of your space for years to come.
