Services
Custom Furniture Design
Creating tailored furniture solutions that harmonise with interior spaces. Our process begins with client consultation to understand functional requirements and aesthetic preferences. Using premium materials like American white oak and cherry, we produce tables, storage units, and seating that balance form and function. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure durability and craftsmanship excellence.
Kitchen Installation
Designing and manufacturing custom kitchen spaces that optimise functionality and visual appeal. Our approach considers workflow patterns, storage needs, and material selection to create efficient culinary environments. Projects range from compact galley kitchens to open-plan family cooking areas with integrated breakfast bars. We specialise in combining painted cabinetry with natural worktops for contemporary yet timeless designs.
Exhibition Displays
Producing museum-quality display solutions for art galleries and public institutions. Our exhibition work includes sculptural plinths, protective cases, and interactive installations that enhance visitor engagement. Collaborations with the Royal West of England Academy and Venice Biennale artists demonstrate our ability to translate curatorial concepts into physical displays that protect and highlight exhibited works.
Film Set Construction
Creating bespoke film sets and props for television and cinema productions. Our workshop has produced kitchen sets, period-specific interiors, and modified structures for advertising campaigns. Working with Aardman Animations and the BBC, we deliver rapid-prototyped sets that meet tight production schedules while maintaining structural integrity and visual authenticity for camera requirements.
Office Furniture
Designing and manufacturing office furniture that supports workplace functionality and brand identity. Our portfolio includes reception desks, partition screens, and custom storage solutions for commercial spaces.
