Custom work

Furniture, shade, cushions and fabric, made to your brief.

Made to your specification with our production partners — drawn, sampled and priced before anything is committed.

Custom furniture

Catalogue pieces adapted to your plan, such as a lower seat, a longer run or a table sized to the room, or built to your own drawing. Banquettes, lounge and bar seating, and dining tables are made to the dimensions you give us.

Fabric & C.O.M.

Choose from the outdoor fabric library or send your own. C.O.M., customer’s own material, is standard, and the spec sheet gives the metreage needed. Weave, grade and care notes come with each fabric.

How a commission runs

Five steps, nothing committed until you sign it off.

A commercial project runs in stages, and each stage is agreed before the next begins.

Brief

Tell us the project, the venue type, the covers and the month you need it. Plans, mood images, a fabric direction — however resolved or rough.

Drawings & materials

Drawings and a material schedule come back for sign-off — timber, metal, fabric, finish. Nothing is committed until the scheme is agreed.

Sample / prototype

For made-to-order pieces a sample or full prototype confirms comfort, scale and detail before the run. C.O.M. is proofed here too.

Production

Made to order with our production partners once the prototype is approved.

Lead time on enquiry — quoted per brief, and never sold as a promise we can’t keep.

Delivery

Delivered to site. Installation depends on the project and its scale.

Care & Refresh — the years after delivery

Existing pieces can be refurbished with new upholstery and new or updated fabrics, for current or past projects. Each piece is quoted separately.

01 — The project

Required — where your reply goes.

Required — a number we can talk it through on. Everything else on the brief is optional.

When you submit your brief, it is sent to us and a copy is kept in this browser. Only your email and phone number are required.

Cushions can also be started directly, without a contract brief: Custom fabrics on hand, Cushions from the ranges and Supply your own fabric.
