Proud to see two pieces from our Legacy project with take the top prize in the bespoke category at this year’s !

‘Duo’ by is a pair of deceptively delicate sofas designed for Alex Beard CBE, Chief Executive of , and made by ourselves. The judging panel deemed the sofa a “masterclass in restraint, elegance and craftsmanship”.

The light rectangular arms have a curved chamfer detail while the backrest is subtly tapered from bottom to top. The seats are upholstered in tan leather, complementing the American red oak frame.

Details from our Puck Table. The combination of hardwood button tops and poised legs give these characterful side tables a playful charm.

Designed by Simon Aarseth, they look lovely by themselves - and even better when in clusters. They also make fabulous gifts for the home.

We make the Puck Table in two sizes with oak or walnut legs, and with either painted or oiled timber tops.

Due to lockdown our showroom is closed but our workshop is fully operational. Orders can be placed online or call us if you would prefer to order over the phone.

Great to see our custom Victoria workbenches and meeting tables in situ at One Oliver’s Yard. The former offices of Companies House have been thoughtfully refurbished by our lovely clients to create a light and modern flexible office space.

The Victoria collection was developed with workplaces in mind, using a modular design intended to be tailored to specific client needs; and offering flexibility should those needs change over time.

At Oliver’s Yard, we created workbenches for 24, comprising 10- and 14-person desks, with the ability to add a further four desk capacity (and six hot desks) as required. Desk tops were made from solid oak, with stained ash underframes. Custom power, data and lighting options were also integrated.

The future of offices is changing. If you’d like to speak about how we can help meet the needs of your office or co-working space, please send us a DM.
