Most furniture buying starts with a catalog. A custom furniture design service starts with your space. As a design studio and maker, we design the piece first — dimensions, proportions, materials and finish worked out around how you actually live — and then build it to order. The result is a piece designed for you, not adapted from stock.
What you get
- A design consultation — we start from your room, references and brief.
- Drawings & layout options — proportions and configurations to your space, down to the centimetre.
- Material & finish selection — solid woods, natural stone, metals, performance fabrics and leathers, chosen with you.
- A clear proposal — approved drawings, materials, price and timeline before anything is built.
- A made-to-order build — produced in our workshop, delivered worldwide.
Who it’s for
Homeowners who want a piece designed around a specific space; interior designers and architects who need a maker to realise a detail exactly; and anyone who has looked for “the right one” and never found it. If it doesn’t exist yet, we design it.
How the design process works
- Brief — your space, references and requirements.
- Design — drawings, layouts and material options for your approval.
- Build — made to order in our workshop, with updates along the way.
- Deliver — worldwide, white-glove, duties prepaid (DDP), crated and insured.
Why design-first is worth it
A designed piece fits the room, the light and the way you use it — and it lasts, because it was made once, properly, in the material you chose. For something you’ll keep for decades, starting from design rather than a shelf is the difference between “close enough” and exactly right.

Frequently asked questions
What does a custom furniture design service include?
Design consultation, drawings and layout options, material and finish selection, and a made-to-order build. You get a considered design — not just a product — before anything is produced.
Can you design a piece from scratch?
Yes. Bring a reference, a rough sketch, or just a description and dimensions, and our studio designs the piece around your space, taste and how it will be used.
Do you provide drawings or visuals before I commit?
Yes — you approve drawings, dimensions and materials before production begins, so there are no surprises.
How much does the design service cost?
Design is part of the commission — we quote the piece as a whole (design, materials and build) with a clear price and timeline before you commit.
Do you ship the finished pieces worldwide?
Yes — worldwide white-glove delivery with duties prepaid (DDP), crated and insured.
