Turning ideas into furniture

Brian works closely with every customer, from the first conversation to the day the piece is installed.

He starts with initial sketches and develops the scheme into a detailed CAD design. Sample swatches help you picture the timber, colour and proportions of the finished piece.

He specialises in modern, contemporary fitted furniture, and also makes reproduction pieces, carries out durable repairs and takes on sympathetic antique restoration. Elegant, simple storage is a speciality.
