Bespoke furniture

A coffee table is used from the sofa. Its height should suit the seat and the way you use it, while its footprint needs to work with the sofa, rug and circulation space. Square, elongated, round or differently proportioned designs can be considered where the model and construction allow. An additional shelf can hold magazines, and partial lacquering can create selected opaque areas.

A side table often has to work in a very specific position. Beside an armchair, the armrest height and reach to the surface matter. Between seats, a few centimetres can make a difference. A small circular top has a different effect from a narrow rectangular one. Wood and glass or a tray can provide another approach for a lamp, books or a drink.

For bedside tables, bed height and personal storage needs guide the design. Should the top sit close to mattress level? Do you need a drawer, an open shelf or space for a large lamp? Matching pieces can create balance, while different widths can respond to unequal space on either side. Sockets and drawers should remain accessible.

A dining table must accommodate people comfortably. We discuss seating numbers, chairs and armrests as well as overall dimensions. Leg positions and sections affect legroom. For larger glass tops, thickness, supports and connections are considered together. Your preferred dimensions are coordinated with comfortable legroom and a suitable construction.

The same approach applies to meeting and conference tables.

A desk brings together the work surface, seated position and equipment. A laptop needs less space than several monitors. Wooden drawers can store stationery while a clear top keeps the room visually open. Cable routes, sockets and any pedestal storage help establish useful dimensions. A glass desk can become a considered part of the home as well as a place to work.

Glass shelving can hold books, art, plants or everyday objects while keeping the room visually open. Planning starts with the contents as well as overall dimensions. How tall are books, folders or vases? Will particular shelves carry heavy items? Even spacing creates a calm arrangement, while varied heights can accommodate a more diverse collection.

For a wall or recess, we consider width and depth alongside height. A narrow unit beside a door needs different proportions from a broad bookcase. Several modules may be preferable where one large piece would dominate or delivery access is limited. A room divider needs to work from several viewpoints; stability, access and any securing requirements are assessed separately.

Shelves, supporting sides and connections work as a system. Longer spans or heavy books may require a different arrangement, additional support or alternative material thicknesses. There is no single load rating for every bespoke version. Describing the contents helps us distinguish between light display use and densely filled bookshelves.

Clear glass, Optiwhite, satin finishes or partially lacquered areas change the appearance. Wooden components can add warmth and enclosed storage. Asymmetric layouts and widths adapted to the room can also be discussed. These pages concern complete shelving furniture and coordinated construction; a request for an individual cut glass shelf is a different brief.

CD storage can become a considered part of the room. For wall-mounted units, wall space, case dimensions and capacity guide the design. Double albums, box sets and DVDs may need different spacing from standard CD cases. Please provide formats as well as quantities. Capacity for a bespoke version is calculated from its usable compartments.

A freestanding unit may suit a narrow wall, while a rotating design offers access from several sides. Both its footprint and movement clearance need consideration. Wall fixings depend on the furniture, load and wall construction. This category includes wall shelving, CD and DVD towers, and TV and hi-fi furniture, so you can choose a solution suited to your collection and available space.

For TV furniture, we begin with the screen, stand and connected equipment. Screen width alone is insufficient: stand depth and position, equipment weight and viewing height matter too. Receivers, consoles and amplifiers require their actual dimensions and ventilation guidance. Equipment should not be enclosed without suitable airflow.

Cable openings can be planned where needed, allowing room for plugs, cable bends and access to connections. Open glass surfaces can be combined with drawers for accessories, or lacquered areas can screen selected sections. Remote-control operation is considered against the actual equipment. Castors, rotation and other moving functions depend on the model and are agreed separately.

Send an equipment list, space dimensions and a photograph of the connections. For CD and DVD storage, include the current collection and expected growth. This allows storage, technology and appearance to be planned together.

A new piece can pick up the colours already present in your home. We can discuss custom colours for glass or suitable wooden components, for example to coordinate with kitchen fronts, a sideboard or another lacquered piece. An existing colour reference or physical sample is useful. A screen photograph can suggest a direction but is not a reliable colour match.

Partial lacquering is another possibility. One area of a glass panel can remain transparent while another has a coloured backing, creating a deliberate combination of clear and opaque zones. Their shape, size and position are planned around the model and its use. The lacquer is applied beneath or behind the glass, rather than as an opaque coating on the upper working face.

The edge remains recognisably glass.

Colour appearance depends on its substrate and finish. A shade seen through float glass may look different through Optiwhite or on a lacquered wood-based panel. Lighting, surrounding materials and sheen also affect the result.

Where close coordination is important, we discuss physical samples and the precise material before manufacture, including the transitions between clear and coloured areas.

Your enquiry and initial consultation are free and without obligation. This applies to a small side table just as much as an order for 200 tables for a hotel. You do not need a finished design or a complete material specification. Start with the intended use, approximate dimensions, quantity and any preferred timeframe. We will help you work through the remaining decisions.

For an individual piece, the existing interior and its intended position usually guide the discussion. For a larger project, we also consider consistent finishes, different room types, everyday use and delivery arrangements. A hotel bedroom, reception area and meeting room can place different demands on the same underlying design.

Related pieces can be developed as a coordinated collection rather than planned separately.

The price of bespoke furniture depends on dimensions, materials, processing, equipment and construction. Prices on linked model pages apply to the standard specification selected there. Your individual quotation sets out the agreed design and proposed delivery timing. An enquiry based on an image or planning sketch does not place an order.

It is worth thinking about daily use from the start. A freestanding cabinet is viewed differently from a piece against a wall. Reflections on a dark lacquer-backed top differ from those on satin glass. Wood has natural grain and polished metal reflects its surroundings. These qualities should fit your expectations as well as the room.

Care guidance depends on the materials actually selected. Smooth glass, a satin surface and rear lacquering are treated differently, as are wood and metal finishes. Mention particular conditions such as frequent hotel cleaning, a busy circulation area or heavy display objects. They can then inform the choice of finishes and construction.

The images help compare forms, proportions and settings. They are generated concept visualisations, not binding material samples or evidence of completed projects. Planning sketches are also an initial guide. Final specifications, technical details and manufacturing dimensions are agreed within your individual project.
