Elevating spaces to become spectacular environments often comes down to a single choice: the materials. Custom furniture is not just the add-on; it is a seamless extension of the structural narrative. In a brief series of posts, I wanted to highlight the composition and elements that we can /do and could use within furniture…

Often when furniture is referred to as ‘bespoke’ it’s a pitch to attract an audience. The use of an ‘of the moment’ array of plastic print finished composite boards and prefinished timbers turned into cabinets at standardised sizes, arranged to ‘fit’ within room space available.

If you’re an architect or designer, you know that the “simple” designs are often the most difficult to engineer.In our latest project, the brief called for both book-matching and slip-matching of veneers that, to the naked eye look like a single, effortless piece of timber. To an engineer, it’s a high-stakes puzzle of stability…
