Thinking Outside the Box

According to some of the latest research conducted by Houzz, bespoke furniture and storage is not only rising in popularity but homeowners are investing more financially in bespoke products. Especially within London, standard pieces don't always fit aesthetic and/or practical needs.


As a multi-disciplined, bespoke, furniture design company based in London, we've had the privilege of finding bespoke solutions for clients faced with these dilemmas. Most commonly, examples include bespoke wardrobes, kitchen cabinetry, or basic bookcases.


But our favourite type of work is when we can create an unexpected solution to a problem which the homeowner thought there was no answer.


We had a client last year hire me to create a bespoke display unit in Maida Vale. Click here to see the project.


Across the room, I noticed a number of exposed pipes. After asking her plan for that side of the room, she explained that she would ideally want a desk there, but wasn't sure how to add one, while hiding the pipes, but also including access to the boiler.

See below the bespoke piece we created for her. Of course, it matches the bookshelf on the other side of the room but also tackles all three of her problems 1) incorporating a desk, 2) hiding the pipes, and 3) creating access to the boiler.


The desk is secured in place with hidden locking bolts and mounted on miniature high-quality castor. They are easily accessible and additionally, allow the desk to moved away from the wall when access to the boiler needed. I was also able to build plug sockets into the design which means the homeowners can have a wireless printer in the larger drawer and still use the desk as if it was fixed in place.


As a Carpenter, its incredibly rewarding to provide a solution for a problem that was thought to not have one. Our workshop enables us to produce the highest quality furniture, hand made to the exact specification of each individual client using a variety of different materials, techniques and finishes. We pride ourselves on producing beautiful and innovative designs alongside a personal and responsive service. This ensures that every aspect of a project is considered and achieved to the satisfaction of all our clients.


Moral of the story? Think outside of the box....or hire someone who does!

    Looks wonderful, what a great idea for a cornered space. really lightens up the room and a great way to cover up the pipe work. Excellent!
