Stage One

The Estimate

Whether it’s a single armchair or supplying a whole collection for a boutique hotel, the process is always the same; communication is essential.  Before providing a price, the design details, quantity of pieces, your budget, sizes and materials required, are all taken into consideration. We will ensure sketches or other necessary means of visual communication are provided early on so you feel confident you will receive the bespoke piece you envisioned. We are there to make suggestions and recommendations every step of the way without compromising your desired outcome. 

Stage Two

Development

Once the order is placed, the process to finalise your design specifications can begin. Working alongside our experienced furniture designer, the design development process is made easy while ensuring you feel confident in our capable hands. We will work together to finalise dimensions, upholstery specifications, comfort levels, fabrics and design details, allowing your bespoke piece to be a true reflection of your needs and wants. 

Stage Three

Once the agreed designs are put into production, our skilled upholsterers will begin making your bespoke pieces. Our studio doors are always open if you wish to visit us to view your order during production as well as meet the maker of your piece. Each piece is made by one upholster from start to finish and our friendly team is always happy to meet our customers.
