Custom Furniture Design Service

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

1. Brief, your space, references and requirements.
2. Design, drawings, layouts and material options for your approval.
3. Build, made to order in our workshop, with updates along the way.
4. 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.
