Questions
What types of wood do you use?
We primarily use reclaimed timber from sources like old buildings and industrial structures, focusing on durable hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and teak that develop beautiful patinas over time.
Can I commission a custom piece?
Yes, we offer made-to-order furniture with a collaborative process from initial concept through design development to final production, ensuring perfect fit for your space and requirements.
How do you ensure sustainability?
By repurposing discarded wood materials and minimising waste during production. Our sourcing focuses on salvaged timber that would otherwise go to landfill, reducing demand for new forest resources.
Do you deliver furniture?
We provide delivery and installation services for local customers, with careful packaging and logistics arrangements available for national and international shipments of our handmade furniture pieces.
What is your workshop's location?
Our workshop is located at Unit 5, Harland Works, 70 John Street, Sheffield S2 4QU, where we welcome visitors during scheduled open studio events and by appointment.
How are prices determined?
Pricing reflects material costs, craftsmanship time, and design complexity. Bespoke commissions include detailed quotes after design finalisation, while restored pieces are priced according to condition and rarity.
