Services
Bespoke furniture design
Creating unique furniture pieces tailored to specific spatial and aesthetic requirements. Our designers collaborate closely with clients to develop concepts that balance form and function. Each design undergoes rigorous technical evaluation before production begins.
Sand-casting
Traditional metal casting technique using sand moulds for creating intricate metal components. Ideal for one-off pieces or small production runs, this method allows complex shapes while maintaining material integrity through precise temperature control.
Steam-bending
Timber forming technique using heat and moisture to create curved wooden elements. This method preserves wood grain continuity while achieving complex shapes, particularly effective for structural components requiring strength and aesthetic appeal.
Canework upholstery
Specialist technique applying steamed cane material to furniture surfaces. The flexible material conforms to curved forms before being secured and finished with protective coatings, creating durable decorative elements with textural interest.
3D printed casting
Combining digital design with traditional casting methods to produce complex metal components. CAD models are translated into physical patterns using 3D printing, enabling precise replication of intricate forms before metal casting.
