Commissioning bespoke furniture - turning a requirement into an idea, an idea into a design then a design into a finished piece - is a fascinating process for both client and maker.  You might expect furniture designed specially for you would cost far more than 'off-the-shelf' productions but comparing like for like in quality, it is surprising how similar prices can be. However, dealing directly with a designer-maker means that your investment will go where you want it to - into the design, the workmanship and the materials.

Each commission is different so an exact price is agreed when the requirements have been fixed. The designer produces a specification and, with that settled, the client pays a deposit.  Materials are bought and while timber is maturing, the details are worked out ready for the hours of craftsmanship it takes to produce fine furniture. The finished piece is delivered to the client who pays the balance. Bespoke furniture designer makers and their clients need patience as it takes time to design and build individual furniture - normally several months.  If you need to meet a special date, we agree this at the start.
