From our workshop
Joinery you can feel.
Every piece starts as rough-sawn boards chosen by hand for colour and grain. We cut real dovetails and mortise-and-tenon joints, sand to 240 grit and finish with hardwax oil, so your table can be refreshed for decades instead of replaced.
- Solid oak, walnut and ash. No veneers.
- Hand-cut joints, no metal brackets
- Plant-based hardwax oil, easy to refresh
The makers
Four benches, one standard.
Every piece is signed under the top by the person who built it. Meet the team behind yours.

In their homes
Built for the next forty years.
Our dining table has survived two toddlers, a dog and countless dinner parties. A quick oil every spring and it looks new.
The delivery team carried the sofa up three floors, assembled it and took every scrap of packaging. Worth the eight-week wait.
I designed a reading corner around the Arch Lounge Chair. Clients ask about it every single time they visit.
