Moulding on cabinet to match fireplace surround
A pair of cabinets made in oak and stone to complement our client’s garden room: the moulding on the top of the cabinets is shaped to match the fireplace surround and the stone matches the stone floor. The cabinets were designed to house hi-fi equipment and vinyl record collection. Glass shelves completed the display section.

Country House master bedroom
Our client moved into his new apartment in a renovated Regency country house and commissioned us to make wardrobes and bedside cupboards for the master bedroom. These wardrobes had to match the proportions of the room with its high ceiling and architectural detail. Our client chose sycamore and bird’s eye maple to maintain the light airy atmosphere in this room. The wardrobes contain short and long hanging, shelves and pull-out shoe racks.

Entrance Hall Furniture
December 1, 2008Our clients presented a sketch of their idea for entrance hall furniture for their Victorian house, and this formed the starting point of our design. They are an active family needing somewhere to store coats, hats, gloves, scarves, walking sticks and umbrellas. They also needed space left in the entrance hall for their golf clubs. They wanted design and manufacture only and wanted it supplied as a kit so that they could collect and fit the furniture themselves.
